I packaged eMule (the ed2k/Kad P2P client from 2002) as a self-contained macOS .app using Wine Crossover. Download the .dmg, drag to Applications, run. No Wine install, no config
— it auto-connects to the eMule Security server and the Kad network on first launch. Works on Apple Silicon (M1–M4) and Intel. ~480MB .dmg.
The build is fully automated: a GitHub Actions workflow watches the upstream community repo (github.com/irwir/eMule) and builds a new .dmg for each release.
Why? Mostly nostalgia. But ed2k still has content you won't find anywhere else — obscure media, old software, niche archives. The network is surprisingly still alive.
