DreaMule is a lightweight file-sharing program for Windows that uses the eDonkey2000 network and the distributed hash table called Kademilia. With the help of this utility, you can search and download a wide range of files.

Initial configuration

As soon as you launch the application, you are able to pick the interface language, set priority levels, and change the TCP and UDP ports. It is also possible to enable the uploading of full chunks, choose the network you want to use and select the shared directories.

In addition, you can pick the operating system, limit the number of concurrent downloads, select the connection type, and specify the bandwidth for uploading and downloading tasks.

Manage downloads

The software features an in-built web browser that provides multi-tabbed support. It also gives you the possibility to initiate the search by applying filters and selecting the preferred file type, such as video or audio items, documents, pictures, CD images or archived files.

Similar to eMule Plus, you have the ability to view a separate pane which displays details about the uploaded, downloaded or queued files. You can see the name, size, progress status, priority, remaining time, category and more.

Playback capabilities

It is necessary to note that DreaMule comes with a player component that allows you to play the current selection before the item is actually downloaded. Moreover, you are able to adjust the volume, skip to the specified position in the video, use a spectrometer and VU meter.
