aMule 3.0.0
Posted: 08.06.2026, 23:59
Hi! We are back.
This is the first major release in 5+ years (since 2.3.3, 2021-02-07). Headline changes are dramatic throughput improvements, full build-system overhaul, modernized dependency stack, native binaries for Linux / macOS / Windows, and a broad legacy-API cleanup.
We went through hard times, we missed programmers and maintainers. There were doubts whether aMule could reemerge. People called aMule a dead project. But eD2k still has users, and those users need working software. So here we are — back to bring you the best eD2k client.
One unfortunate thing happened: Gonosztopi, one of aMule's most prolific devs, who has been the maintainer for many years, is missing. We have no news from him (we hope you are well, man!). And he was the only owner of the original GitHub repo. The other members left in amule-project do not have enough rights on the organization to properly manage the project. So we were forced to create a new one. New org, new repos, but the same folks.
You can find the new aMule site here.
You will find everything there: the home page, complete documentation, download links, news and links to the source code.
