Die wichtigste Information zur neuen Version 1.0 von eDonkey2000 dürfte sein, dass eDonkey ab sofort nur wieder eDonkey ist - Overnets Kademlia-Funktionalität ist nun integriert und Overnet als separater client somit eingestellt.


Mehr Infos - leider auf englisch, aber dafür umfangreicher als auf der eDonkey2000 Homepage selbst:

eDonkey 1.0 Released
August 4, 2004
Thomas Mennecke



The eDonkey2000 network has long been a valued commodity in the P2P world. Its higher learning curve over Kazaa has ensured a network of computer savvy individuals, with far less in the way of leeching or other forms of lamership. Over the years, two clients, eMule and eDonkey, have emerged as the spearhead clients of this thriving community.

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.

The most significant change to the MetaMachine client is the full integration of the Overnet and eDonkey clients. Instead of having two clients, only the hybrid will be available. From MetaMachine's point of view, it was originally hoped that the eDonkey2000 network would be phased out in favor of Overnet. However, this event never materialized, as the old adage "if it ain't broke..." applied well to the situation.

In addition, eDonkey 1.0 is Macintosh compatible. With the eDoneky2000 and FastTrack networks at a virtual tie for the P2P crown, it will be interesting to see whether an influx of Mac users will give this community the push it needs to overtake FastTrack.

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

What has stayed the same? Webhancer, GloPhone, TopRebates and New.net

Keep in mind that eDonkey is supported by third party software. However, in all fairness, the client does not force this software upon the user, and he/she is able to option out of its installation.

MetaMachine has brought many new and innovative concepts to the P2P community. In addition, they have tolerated open source projects such as eMule and Lugdunum, which has helped earn their network a tremendous amount of respect in the file-sharing community.

Neu ist auch die Möglichkeit, per Plugin von BitTorrent Netzwerken und eD2k-Netzwerk gleichzeitig das selbe file zu laden.
Dazu braucht man das BitTorrent Plugin von The_Orphan, das man samt Informationen auf seiner Homepage findet.

hmm kann man auch emule files damit weiter downloaden habe zur zeit emule drauf und er kommt einfach nicht in fahrt 0-10kb mehr ist nicht drin.

eDonkey = kommerzielles Programm

eMule = Open Source und kostenfrei - wer bezahlt, ist selbst schuld und fällt damit meist auf Betrüger rein.

Die eMule files sind AFAIK inkompatibel zu dem neuen eDonkey part file Format - eMule allerdings kann eDonkey downloads importieren.
