The aim of this feature is to enable Shareaza to connect and use the eMule Kademlia network as eMule do.

eMule Kademlia is a decentralized, serverless, Distributed Hash Table (DHT) network. Its main advantage is the ability to search the network using the hashes of the files in a predeterminated time or number of hops. Any and all files in the network with the correct hash will be finded (as soon as their hash is been published on the network).

What is needed for the developers of Shareaza to code this feature is: the eMule development team tell it is no more experimental.

What will help this feature to be coded is: disentangling the networks' code, so coding a new network/protocol or recoding an old one will not affect the others.
