 There are 2 ways how a BitTorrent task can have support for downloading from the eDonkey & Kad Networks: There are 2 ways how a BitTorrent task can have support for downloading from the eDonkey & Kad Networks:
-  * For torrents created with BitComet, if at the creation time of the .torrent file the option "//Calculate ED2K link for each file//" was enabled (which is its default state) then an "ed2k" key containing an 128 bit eMule hash will be calculated and included into the //info// dictionary of the .torrent file, for each file of the torrent. (See [[inside_bitcomet#torrent_file_format|Torrent file format]].)\\ That way, any BitComet peer when decoding the .torrent file will also learn the eMule hashes for each file and thus will be able to search for those files into the eDonkey/Kad Networks. +  * For torrents created with BitComet, if at the creation time of the //.torrent// file the option "//Calculate ED2K link for each file//" was enabled (which is its default state) then an "ed2k" key containing an 128 bit eMule hash will be calculated and included into the //info// dictionary of the //.torrent// file, for each file of the torrent.

-  * For torrents created with other torrent maker applications, as soon as the first BitComet peer from a swarm will finish downloading the torrent, it will calculate the eMule hashes for each file of the torrent and make them available to other BitComet peers who may be searching for eDonkey links for that torrent, through the DHT Network. From that point on, every BitComet peer from that swarm should be able to search the DHT Network and retrieve the ED2K links for that task and then search for those files into the eDonkey/Kad Networks, as well.+  * For torrents created with other torrent maker applications, as soon as the first BitComet peer from a swarm will finish downloading the torrent, it will calculate the eMule hashes for each file of the torrent and make them available to other BitComet peers who may be searching for eDonkey links for that torrent, through the DHT Network.

-"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]])). Downloads from the eDonkey Network are usually slower than those in the BitTorrent Network, however for torrents which do not have any more any seeds, sometimes 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]])).

-  * You can make sure that a torrent will have eDonkey support if when you make a .torrent file you check the option "//Calculate ED2K link for each file//" in the torrent maker dialog. This way any BitComet client can use that that link to search the eDonkey/Kad Network for sources containing the files of that torrent, additionally to the BitTorrent Network.\\ (Note that this does not guarantee that any other peer will actually find those files on the eDonkey/Kad Networks but will enable other BitComet peers to search for them there.)\\ {{:em_05.png|}}\\ <html><br /></html>+  * You can make sure that a torrent will have eDonkey support if when you make a //.torrent// file you check the option "//Calculate ED2K link for each file//" in the torrent maker dialog.

   * When BitComet is downloading a torrent, upon the BT task creation time (if the "//Search for eMule sources//" option is enabled on the pop up Properties page of the task) BitComet will search for ED2K Links for the files of that torrent and if it will find any it will import those downloading tasks into eMule plugin as well. The eMule plugin may be very useful to complete your download by finding sources for the torrent's files in the ED2K network, especially, if there are no seeds in the BitTorrent Network so that you can complete your download.\\ Tasks downloaded from ED Network through eMule plugin which are initiated in BitComet, will show as "bitcomet_imported" in eMule and will share the same download directory with the BitComet BT task.
