1. whats the best client
2. addons for those client
3. how to look for links
4. how to set up this client
5. + other things that i must know

1. eMule is the most used ed2k client as you can read at Wikipedia
2. I should say the Xtreme Mod is the best, the biggest, the populair and the best rated one.
3. Don't use links, just the most available search results.
4. You can use very great tutorials at Emule-Project
5. Always connect to KAD, make sure you got a High ID and a server.met without fake servers or just set your favourite servers as razorback etc. Also be aware for files ain't what filenames say, sometimes check other filenames from users or comments.

Hope I helped you a bit...

Good info 3DSM.

2. I use MorphXT mod which is also good and frequently updated.

5. This is the serverlist I use now -
http://www.gruk.org/list.php
Make sure you DON'T set your eMule to automatically update server list as it may bring false servers. Just go to this page every couple of weeks and download updated serverlist.
Connect to servers with low ping and most users, Razorback 2.0 is the best one. Set your upload to 12-16 k/s for best result. For people starting out from scratch, don't get discouraged for first few hours you may not get any download. You have to leave client running as long as possible (leave it running while you sleep or for days if you can) to get best results as queues can be in the thousands. The more you upload though the better your download will be as your rating will improve.
Rarer files can take days and even weeks to get but it has files not available anywhere else so it's worth it.

3. You can use osloskop.net - one of the biggest ed2k tracker over the net (Polish and partially English). Site owners claim that all links are checked before posting, so there's no fake files there (I've never seen one). To add download to your eMule you have to copy ed2k link from site. If you previously enabled "take ed2k links from clipboard" in eMule options a message window will apear and your link will be added to dl list.

ok forget it i tried it and tried it and still cannot turn it on , can use torents but no e-mule becoz my IP is blacklisted ??????

I know some ISP's here have begun throttling download speed on p2p apps. If torrents work for you, trying using same ports on emule or other ports which are used for critical services like VOIP which they can't block or throttle.
