As eMule and eDonkey battle it out for supremacy in the eDonkey2000 community (a battle MetaMachine is struggling to reclaim), the ultimate victor is the end user. Similar to DirectConnect and the army of open source clones that followed, the eDonkey2000 community has benefited from the competition that has forced both sides to develop improved clients.
So what has changed with the new eDonkey client?
- Combined Overnet and eDonkey2000 into one application.
- Switched from MFC to Qt.
- Mac OS X version now available.
- Better support for other protocols.
- Much improved graphing and statistics.
- Fake file detection.
- Many UI changes.
- Lower CPU load.
- Changed shared tab layout
- Now downloads first and last chunk first
- Can copy plain ed2k links
- More flexible skining
- Improved zlib server support
- RAM buffered uploads/downloads
- Improved plugin support
- Unicode support
- New media tab with user definable categories
