Yes, it is one of the most popular filesharing clients around but I wish there was some trick to kick start downloads and keep them alive until they are finished. Why o why must you wait half a day in a queue to get some crappy download that may or may not be what you were looking for. That's another thing, it seems to be rampant with videos that have been named relatively tamely only to contain some hard core porn that really isn't what you wanted. (If you do want it you can just get the appropriately named files a plenty!)

What's more, setting it up isn't always the walk in the park that it might be. I mean take Azureus for example, install, run and get downloads going immediately and quickly. As long as the torrent file you choose is relatively popular you can generally get files way quicker than eMule. But then using torrents doesn't appeal to anyone who doesn't want to spend 42 seconds learning how they work.

Best:

Good for old files
Cool interface

Worst:

Takes an age to get started
Lots of files that pose as something they're not
eMule spies are something to look out for in future
