IMule

iMule (invisible Mule) is a free open source anonymous P2P file sharing software which connects through the anonymous I2P network and the Kad network.

iMule is based on the aMule source code and uses the Kad network and the I2P network. The eDonkey network used in eMule and aMule, which connects through servers, has been dropped. iMule downloads and shares files without revealing the IP addresses and identity of its users.

iMule is designed for anonymous file sharing. Since version 1.2.3, a router program was included inside the source code so no other software is necessary to connect to the I2P network. If the user wants to make use of all the other features of I2P (BitTorrent, Gnutella, anonymous emails and websites) the whole package needs to be installed.

Like aMule, iMule aims to be portable over multiple platforms with the use of the wxWidgets library. Current supported systems include Linux, Mac OS X, various BSD-derived operating systems, Windows and Solaris.

iMule can be downloaded from the official website, mirror sites, and through ed2k links.
