| Once the plugin is installed and enabled in BitComet's options, if you check the "Search for eDonkey download source" check-box on the properties page of the task, when you add a torrent in BitComet, it will automatically search for that resource in the eDonkey and Kad networks, too. Once the resource is found, BitComet will concurrently download from all available sources (BitTorrent, eMule and Kad peers) into the same file(s). BitComet will also upload the content when requested, to the eDonkey and Kad networks through eMule plugin, thus enabling true cross-protocol file-sharing. Although eMule is installed as a plugin for BitComet it can also be used as a standalone client (either by clicking the "Show eMule plugin" button on the Options page or by simply starting the executable file) in order to seek and retrieve files from the eDonkey Network. | Once the plugin is installed and enabled in BitComet's options, if you check the "//Search for eMule sources//" check-box on the properties page of the task, when you add a torrent in BitComet, it will automatically search for that resource in the eDonkey and Kad networks, too.

| "One advantage of eMule is a large user base, currently averaging 3 to 4 million people, which share some 4 billion files, which makes it excellent for finding rare content"((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMule#eMule_compared_to_other_p2p_networks)). Downloads from the eDonkey Network are usually slower that those in the BitTorrent Network, however for torrents which do not have any more seeds, eMule might prove to be the useful aid in finishing the download of those rare torrents you found so hard on some site. | "One advantage of eMule is a large user base, currently averaging 3 to 4 million people, which share some 4 billion files, which makes it excellent for finding rare content"(([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMule#eMule_compared_to_other_p2p_networks|Wikipedia - eMule]])).

| For torrents that do not support eDonkey download (i.e. for which at the creation time of the task BitComet didn't find any ED2K Link), you can try to manually enable download from eDonkey Network by using the "//Search ED2K Link for this file//" option in the //Files//' tab right-click context menu of each file for that torrent.\\ If after searching BitComet finds a download source for any of the files, it will add it as an imported task in eMule and attempt to download concurrently from the eDonkey/Kad Networks as well.
