eMule is an open source file sharing application that connects to the eDonkey network & Kad network. eMule, which was released in May 2002, was once one of the most popular file sharing applications. When it was first released, its main competitors were Kazaa Lite, Limewire & Direct Connect.

When BitTorrent was released in July 2001, it quickly became popular due to its very efficient way of transferring files and over time, the majority of file sharers gravitated towards BitTorrent and abandoned most of the other file sharing applications, including eMule.

Some people also stopped using eMule because anti P2P companies began flooding the eDonkey & Kad network with fake files in order to attempt to frustrate file sharers and prevent them from downloading and sharing legitimate files.

A release group called Ministry of Television (MoTV) has been releasing verified TV shows on the eDonkey & Kad network for several years. They release volumes in the .chm format which contains a database of hundreds of TV series. They also release periodic updates which contain links to TV episodes that have recently aired.

In order to download the database and updates, you'll first need to download and install eMule. Then, visit MoTV's home at dead-donkey. While you have eMule running, click on the MoTV DB link and the database will begin to download. Once you've downloaded the entire file, open the .chm file and search for the TV shows you'd like to download.

Each TV episode contains a hash link. When you click on one of these links, the episode will begin to download in eMule. Each episode has been verified so you won't have to worry about the possibility of downloading a fake file or, even worse, one that's littered with malware.

Enjoy!
