'''Lancast''' allows clients in the same LAN (or VPN) to share their files at a very high speed, providing them with the ability of finding sources and files (keyword searches are available only on ''Lancast version 2;'' the first version of Lancast looks for ed2k hashes only) inside their LAN or VPN.

Since [[Webcache]] has become [[Webcache#Criticism|criticized]] and [[Webcache#Abandoned|abandoned]], the Lancast feature now remains as one of the most advantageous tools allowing for Internet providers to economize their external traffic. By promoting the use of Lancast-capable mods of eMule in LANs and/or VPNs, all the file exchange ed2k/Kad traffic between the clients of the same provider becomes local (otherwise the traffic would twice traverse the local/Internet boundary).

== Comparison with μTorrent ==
 
 
According to [http://download.utorrent.com/utorrent-help.zip μTorrent help file] (Appendix A, «Preferences» section, «BitTorrent» subsection), μTorrent has a similar feature called '''Enable Local Peer Discovery:'''
 
 
:: '''Enable Local Peer Discovery''' allows µTorrent to attempt to discover local peers via multicast. If a peer is considered local, transfer rates with the peer will not be limited unless ''Limit local peer bandwidth'' is also enabled. Local Peer Discovery will not be used for .torrent files with the 'private' flag set.
