According to Wikipedia, the lastest version of eMule was released in 2010, but "official forum users" developed an updated version as of 2017.

Is this information up to date? Is that still true? I'd feel a lot better installing something on my computer that was last updated at least in this decade, which version of eMule should i pick, if any?

I use MLDonkey 3.1.7 (July 2020) with debian 12.

I used it on Ubuntu server, because I wanted to cross share my torrents on that network just to keep it alive, however it had a memory leak and would eat all of 32GB of RAM in couple of days. Had to give it up. I even tried to compile it myself, because I read somewhere that one of the libraries caused the issue, but it didn't solve it for me. It's a shame it's not in active development anymore.

Well, I have running mldonkey for months non-stop without problems, only shutting up the system for updates. I used precompiled .deb from debian sid (I think it is not available anymore, but I am sharing through ed2k/kad). I am sorry that you had this problem, maybe it is because it is Ubuntu and not debian, who knows.
