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. BitComet will also upload the content when requested, to the eDonkey and Kad networks through eMule plugin, thus enabling true cross-protocol file-sharing. Once the resource is found, BitComet will concurrently download from all available sources (BitTorrent, eMule and Kad peers) into the same file(s). 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.

Thus through this plugin BitComet enables cross-protocol and cross P2P-networks download and file-sharing. The eMule plugin is a modded version of the client, made into a plugin for BitComet. EMule is a freeware P2P, standalone, application client connecting to both the eDonkey Network and Kad Network.
