Best eDonkey Client

eMule
Imho, eDonkey is the second most overrated network right after FastTrack. But in some magical way it keeps attracting new users just to make them spend their lives waiting in queues and not ever downloading anything. Oh, well, eMule is the best of the horde. Had it only supported some other network… would it be a great client! See the description of eMule here.
Emule

eMule is one of the most popular p2p programs, perhaps even the most popular one. Supposably, the eDonkey200 network owns its popularity to thes very program.
Unlike Sherman Networks (the makers of Kazaa), MetaMachine (the makers of eDonkey) have managed to come to terms with the eMule Team, thanks to which both programs can coexist peacefully. Needless to say, it is the network who gains most.
In fact, both programs are very similar. The main difference is that eMule does support the Kad network whereas eDonkey does not. 1:0 for eMule. Apart from that, they have almost all the weak (queues!) and strong (content) points in common.
