People still use the eMule client but nowadays the community version is the version that gets some updates

https://www.emule-project.com/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&rm=download

https://github.com/irwir/eMule/releases/

But technically any eMule / KAD compatible client can connect to the servers and download/upload to users there e.g. Mldonkey is another client being used.

It's been a few years since I was last active on there but back then there was still a healthy amount of users and activity, I suspect it's still going strong.
