These are all the feature that Emule plus has and some of them are quite impressive.
This is a comprehensive list of features within eMule Plus, most of them not in the official code or done in a different way.
* Improved GUI: the client has been redesigned to have a more intuitive and appealing GUI. Servers, Transfers and Statistics windows has been revamped for better screen usage and greater customization.
* Web Server: originally conceived in Plus but now on official this 'light' interface is useful to remotely control your client. It's evolving each day, adding features to make it better while not making it a resource hog. We have some extended features as Intruder Detection, A4AF support, a graphical queue list, client version information and much more.
* Better interface design: we take special care in the interface design, so you won't see any misplaced box or a cut string. Images used in our client and sites are done the best way possible by Graphic Designers to be more appealing and meaningful.
* Localization: Plus has their own team of translators localizing each day new string for features not available on the official client. There are also localizations for the FAQ so users can get help in their language easily.
* Our own team of betatesters: the Plus team has an extensive team of beta testers, including Windows 9x users, releasers and a lot of different system configurations are daily tested. We have an extensive testing process before a release. This doesn't mean the client won't have bugs but that there will be fewer or that they won't affect the majority of it's users.
* Static servers priority: priority for static servers can be changed from the GUI without users having to change the configuration files directly.
* Rating/Comments of files: a better rating information has been added to Plus to help users get an idea of the rating of the file. With different levels of quality and a special icon to inform users about fakes. This system calculates all the values of the ratings people have given it and makes an average value shown to you through various levels of quality as a thermometer.
* Upload Progress: a different and improved progress bar for uploads is used to give a better glimpse of the status of a client downloading from you. The number of parts each client have and the part they are currently downloading are also shown.
* A4AF management: the ed2k protocol allows only one file to be transferred at the same time from a single client, so other requests to the same user are queued until the transferring file is completed. Our client shows you the sources that has been requested for other files in each single file sources list and allows you to force them to switch to another file.
* Stored Sources: when you close your client for long periods sources are lost. Most of them can be recovered with the sources exchange protocol but for rare files the obtained sources from other sessions can be lost. Stored Sources allows you to store the sources in a file to be retrieved again when you restart your client.
* Better client information: client software as well as the status is shown with different mule icons. Different colors related to the official colour of the software are used to give a better insight on the client type distribution in your queues and the status of the clients you connect to or those connecting to you. Credits, friends and banning status are shown with different icon modifications also.
* Unneeded Sources: there are sources in your download queue that sometimes doesn't have chunks for the file you're downloading, so they are using a slot while not being useful for us. This kind of sources are removed automatically when the max sources limit for a file is reached.
* Super-Compressed Blocks: some clients send empty blocks (without real data) spreading corruption around the network and making clients work harder to get the files. With this feature you can block sources that send this kind of blocks and just drop them instead of processing them.
* Destination Directory: you can set a different destination directory for each download than the incoming directory. When completed, the file will be transferred to that directory.
* Filename cleanup: automatically or manually activated, this feature allows you to clean filenames. Unwanted advertisement strings or non-cased files can be formatted in a more pleasant way.
* Improved Search: you can search files not containing strings. There is also support for FileDonkey and Jigle web services search. The selected search method is also retained between sessions, so you won't need to change it to your preferred choice each time you start a new search.
* Part Traffic: spreading information in p2p applications is vital. Knowing which files are already well spread and which are not is something that releasers request a lot. This information can be obtained from the clients currently downloading from you or by storing all the transfers information. The Plus team believe that the second method is better because you know how your client actively performed.
* Part Status: sometimes, old and not well designed clients asks for parts that are already well spread while not asking for other parts not spread at all. This isn't useful for the network because files need more time to be spread. With this in mind a feature that allows you to disable access to these parts has been bundled in the client.
* JumpStart: the initial release of a file is mostly chaotic. The problem is that some parts of the file are transferred hundred of times while others are not transferred at all. With JumpStart you can control automatically a release while supervising the spread of the different chunks by hiding well spread parts. This is an automated and intelligent process.
* Upload System (zz): the ed2k protocol has been designed in a way only full chunks are shared. As chunks have a size of 9Mb you need to complete them before sharing that part to the world. The zz Upload System prioritizes the upload of full chunks while maxing out your upload speed with trickle slots. These slots use the remaining bandwidth not used by the other downloading clients. The speed of spreading parts is prioritized instead of a levelled transfer speed between all the downloading clients, guaranteeing a faster spread of files on the network.
* Shell Menu: for shared files a shell menu is provided bringing you the file handling options supported by the operative system to your eMule client.
* Doubleclick behavior: the user can configure how a double click over a source or file reacts, letting the user decide which way is better.
* eMule process priority: you can set the client to be run on a higher priority if you use processor demanding applications affecting eMule's processing. This way your download/upload speed won't drop when an application hogs your processor.
* Font configuration: allows the font and font size used within IRC/chat/log windows to be customized.
* Slow completion of files: while reducing the size of the blocks, when completing a file and transferring it to a different partition/disk, you can have a much more responsive system.
* Message filtering: allows you to disable messages containing filtered words from being shown.
* Comment filtering: allows you to disable comments containing filtered words from being shown.
* Intelligent Chunk Request (ICR): the Intelligent Chunk Request system allows the download of files faster by concentrating on the rarest and (or) complete chunks.
* Lancast: saves bandwidth, and increases download speeds in dual network capacity environments (your PC is on the internet, but also on a LAN with other eMule clients). Your client will discover other local/LAN sources and will upload to these clients above your client's normal upload limits, using multicast. Useful for people who share an Internet connection with other eMule Plus users (student networks, home networks and Metropolitan Area networks as long as they support multicast data).
* Complete Sources: a new column in Shared files window that shows a range of possible values for the number of complete sources, for the files you're currently sharing. If you didn't receive enough data to calculate a total range, you will see an approximate value preceded by a sign ?
glad you like it.
