Hello, Folks. I just wanted different opions from all of you about eDonkey and Overnet. Are you all thinking to move to Overnet?
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
My current setup stats (like anyone cares...):
ASUS A8N32-SLI Motherboard
AMD 4400+ Dual-Core CPU
Windows Vista (Ultimate 32bit)
2 GB (2x1GB) Corsair XMS RAM
2x250 GB (in RAID 0) HDDs
EVGA GeForce 7950 GTX 512 MB
Creative X-FI Fatal1ty XtremeGamer
Also sporting a black MacBook
Revision/Release 1
Upgraded to 2GB RAM.
Me neither, the Donkey is still the best, why Jed M. developed Overnet in the first place still confuses me !? Whats that old saying?..
"if it aint broke, don't fix it...."
:upside
i like edonkey, but it never wants to connect. can anymore help me?
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.
how do i get the lastest server list?

In Edonkey right click on the server list, select "get server list" and paste this url
enjoy..:)
Also if you are running XP make sure you disable that god-awful firewall...
thanks
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).
an eagle in your mind
hey AnimeDood ive seen/have every anime picture you posted in this thread so far..
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.
yeah anime is my thing!
