Emule has both popular and very rare files. And I don't have to seed. With torrents, seeding trashes my HDDs too much, because nobody wants many files, I keep them in vain. With emule I download, consume then delete files. No seeding needed. Most likely, the file will not be in demand for years. Although, I can't download many files present because of some settings on the other side.
You need to know how and when to use it. Otherwise you get stuck in front of your computer for hours and nothing happens.
Really neat project. Yes the app may be not so quickly developed anymore but it is mature. The p2p eMule network is not for those that wants something immediately (for that, people can pay), but for those that like to share things over months and years. Furthermore with certain settings between two peers, the transfer speed can get very fast, but the two peers have to cooperate.
