eMule is a free peer-to-peer file sharing application for Microsoft Windows. Started in May 2002 as an alternative to eDonkey2000, eMule connects to both the eDonkey network and the Kad network. The distinguishing features of eMule are the direct exchange of sources between client nodes, recovery of corrupted downloads, and the use of a credit system to reward frequent uploaders. eMule transmits data in zlib-compressed form to save bandwidth.

eMule是一个自由开源的P2P文件共享软件,基于eDonkey2000的eDonkey网络,遵循GNU通用公共许可证协议发布,运行于Windows下。eMule中文名称在大陆用户中有争议,根据eMule官方网站的简体中文版说法,“eMule”译为“电骡”,其名称也来源于骡。 eMule于2002年5月开始开发。与之前的eDonkey2000客户端相比,eMule能够连接eDonkey和Kad两个网络,有较快的下载损坏数据恢复功能,有奖励频繁上传的用户的积分系统。另外,eMule以zlib压缩格式传输数据以节约带宽。 eMule使用了MFC,并用VC++进行编译。由于eMule是开源的,所以其代码基础也被Linux平台下的客户端xMule和跨平台客户端aMule、JMule所使用。同时eMule也衍生出了很多修改版,见。 很长时间以来eMule都是SourceForge网站上的下载量最多的软件。截止2009年9月,官方eMule在SourceForge上的下载点击数已超过5亿。
