Does EMule Rust need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

What transport does EMule Rust use?

EMule Rust runs locally over stdio.

Documentation

eMuleRust

A modern, security-hardened reimplementation of the eD2K and Kad (Kademlia) peer-to-peer protocols — Rust engine, Flutter desktop UI, native MCP server for AI agents.

🇫🇷 Version française

Overview

eMuleRust is an independent, ground-up reimplementation of the historic eD2K (eDonkey2000) and Kad DHT (Kademlia) protocols, faithful to the eMule 0.72a reference. The engine is written in Rust (sparse storage engine, async Tokio daemon, bounded wire codecs, dynamic swarm allocator) and the interface in Flutter Desktop (reactive native Windows UI, Clean Architecture MVVM).

Disclaimer — eMuleRust is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the eMule project (emule-project.net) or the Rust Foundation. « Rust » refers to the implementation language. See NOTICE for full attribution.

Screenshot

eMuleRust downloads view — multi-source swarm transfers on the real eD2K/Kad network

Real-network session: HighID on eD2K, Kad connected, parallel multi-source downloads with per-part progress map.

Key Features

Safe, modern Rust engine — 100% memory safe, bounded wire framing, streaming zlib decompression (OP_COMPRESSEDPART), zero uncontrolled allocation.
Autonomous multi-source swarm — Weighted Max-Min Fair-Share (water-filling) algorithm distributing connection slots by file rarity and priorities.
Kademlia v2 DHT — 128-bit numeric distance metric matching eMule's CUInt128, LRU-cached K-buckets, iterative lookup converging on SEARCHTOLERANCE.
Native MCP server — 87 MCP tools letting AI assistants (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity) drive the client end-to-end.
Local AI assistant — loopback LLM orchestrator with MCP tool profiles, embedded in the desktop UI.
Defense-in-depth security — 7-stage anti-SSRF pipeline, loopback isolation by default, atomic kill switch, ipfilter.dat IP filtering, salted peer pseudonymization.
eMule protocol fidelity — validated against the official eMule 0.72a sources (srchybrid), Source Exchange v4 (SX1/SX2), fine-grained remote queue ranking.
Portable mode — portable.flag beside the executable keeps all state inside the bundle (data/ + downloads/); installed mode uses %LOCALAPPDATA%\eMuleRust.

Quick Start

Download

Grab the latest eMuleRust-v*-standard-windows-x64.zip from Releases, unzip, run eMuleRust.exe. Every release ships SHA256SUMS.txt and a CycloneDX SBOM.

Prerequisites (build from source)

Windows 10/11 (x64)
Rust 1.80+ (stable)
Flutter 3.24+ (Windows desktop enabled)
Visual Studio C++ Build Tools 2022

Build the portable Windows bundle

powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -File scripts\build_windows_release.ps1
# Self-contained bundle in dist\eMuleRust-Standard-Windows\

Validation (100% offline, fully reproducible)

# Rust — lint
cargo check --workspace --all-targets --all-features
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings

# Rust — full test suite (204+ unit & integration tests, loopback only)
cargo test --workspace --all-features

# Flutter — analysis and tests
cd apps/desktop
flutter analyze
flutter test

Security

eMuleRust treats its network-facing surface as hostile by default. Please report vulnerabilities privately via GitHub Security Advisories — never in a public issue. See SECURITY.md.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome — see CONTRIBUTING.md. Note that the codebase and documentation are written in French; pull requests must keep the workspace warning-free (-D warnings) and all tests offline (loopback only).
