No, I dont think I will be moving, mostly because eDonkey is the original and is naturally faster. Plus, most of the sites for the downloading (sharereactor musicdonkey) are built for eDonkey. So i will be with the donkey for a long while to come :tilted

I like eDonkey too, and I'm glad to see people not moving to Overnet. By the way, if you are having a trouble connecting, make sure to get the latest server list and check your internet connection.

Also if you are running XP make sure you disable that god-awful firewall...

I like the idea of Overnet that it is serverless. However, it doesn't have a lot of users yet!
It is still too early, they still need to improve the program's GUI. Today, most people wouldn't care to learn use command line version in a Window's environment. eDonkey needs to be improved also but I will stick with this for now! eDonkey needs to improve on the way to handle upload slots. Most of my files are large & I have over 50 people in queue at any time I am online. If I can limit just 2 or 3 slots for people to download my files, they will get those faster. I am on ADSL with 128Kb/s upload limit, so I have to limit it to 120Kb/s (only about little more than speed 2 modems) otherwise I couldn't surf on the Internet at same time! I believe in file sharing is better for p2p community. P2P file sharing rocks forever!!! |

Overnet is better than eDonkey, but it does require Microsoft's .net SDK (which is free btw).

edonkey is better than overnet.
edonkey is full of holes that overnet didnt correct. overnet even added problems that donkey didnt have- chat has to hit the "send" key because the enter key doesnt work, download speed is controlled by upload speed- when one goes up, the other goes down. but overnet needs a nealy 30 megabyte download of a java-like layer of code to work in windows. there is a second service pack out there and it is a pain to install and use. donkey needs servers to find files, but once they are started, no server is needed for them to complete. overnet just sits there doing nothing. donkey gets my vote. |
