    To my knowledge, both eMule and DC++ are still active, but I think private trackers have become the more dominant technology for file sharing.

              What’s the availability for movies and shows like?

              Recent stuff? FHD/4K? Availability of more niche content? I am just curious. I used to eMule way back when, but I eventually switched to torrent since they seemed to have offered better retention of older/niche content and high availability of new content.

                Well usually FHD, good availability of recent and old stuff, there is a good community of French, Italian and Spanish stuff with English sub. Probably if you prefer 4k and above, torrent is better.

                  That’s good. But you’d have to know what you are looking for (that’s what I remember from using eMule back in the day), right?

                  I don’t mind SD if the content is good. Just wondering what is available.

                  Cheers!

        People still use the eMule client but nowadays the community version is the version that gets some updates

        https://www.emule-project.com/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&rm=download

        https://github.com/irwir/eMule/releases/

        But technically any eMule / KAD compatible client can connect to the servers and download/upload to users there e.g. Mldonkey is another client being used.

        It’s been a few years since I was last active on there but back then there was still a healthy amount of users and activity, I suspect it’s still going strong.
