Working Online/Offline
If you work online it means that Emma communicates with the server and has access
to all services. Services that you have used online are stored locally (except for the
Activation service) and you may later use them when you work offline.
1.
Emma will always be in online mode if Emma can communicate with the server.
2.
If the server cannot be reached Emma will be in offline mode but will
automatically go online when the communication with the server has been
restored.
Enabling peer-to-peer (P2P)
If you want to download files you can get them from a neighboring Emma user, a so
called peer, instead of downloading them from the server. A neighbor is a computer
behind the same router or firewall.
