Recently, another eMule mod has been updated. This mod is called StulleMule.

Stull, another mod for the eMule client, is a variant of the Morph XT client (which was also upgraded recently).

A mod of a mod may seem like an odd proposition, but given the colorful history it has, it may not come as a surprise at this point. The creator of Stull started into mods with a now discontinued mod of eMule known as Sivka. Being forced to look to other variants when orphaned from the Sivka client, the creator started using a mod known as Pastagua.

The developer then started modifying the variant to include a feature known as ‘Lovelace’. Lovelace is a system that replaces the current credit system with one that is more like a tit-for-tat arrangement. The creator, of course, then released a version of this eMule variant and called it the StulleMule.

Some time later, other mods were used like EastShare, but today, Morph XT is the base for the modifications used today in StulleMule.

In today’s StulleMule, according to the change-log, there were a few features added like reconnecting to Kad (Kademlia) on IP-Change, security checks for loading of reduce factor, and recognizing MLDonkey XS answer.
