How To : iMule the next generation P2P on Windows 7

Configuration

• OS : Windows 7
• iMule : 2.3.2.3

Intro

iMule and I2P

iMule (for invisibleMule) is a free open source anonymous P2P, which connects through the anonymous I2P network and the Kad network.

To work iMule needs I2P in order to secure and grant anonymous exchanges.

System requirements

I2P

As I said previously, to work iMule needs I2P. We have to install (see : here).

Configure I2P

Enable SAM bridge

• We have to enable the interface used by iMule to talk with I2P. On http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients, go to Start then Run at Startup? and Save Client Configuration :

iMule

Download

• It seems to be quite hard to find the software. You can normally download it from www.imule.i2p via I2P.

Installation

• Unzip the zip file wherever you want (c:\Program Files (x86) for example) then execute imule.exe. After few seconds connexion state should turn green to inform you that everything is ok.
