xMule — the X11 Mule — is a client for the eDonkey peer-to-peer file sharing network, originally intended to bring it to virtually all the major Unix platforms, with a particular emphasis on Linux. The project is no longer being developed, and users of xMule are encouraged to move to the BitTorrent network or use aMule in the official xMule website.xMule is a fork of the LMule client, which itself was originally a Linux-only port of the eMule client.
