Default eDonkey. Hoax?

I had been neglecting my eDonkey lately, and after reading of the test in the Zeropaid announcement (eDonkey Bot Crash) and the pro and con opinions on it, I decided to try running it manually myself. I had always relied on the eDonkeyBot and after updating the server list hit the connect button. It cycled through several servers before finding one to connect to. A couple of old downloads actually started!

I then went to the ShareReactor and started browsing, queued up several items. After seeing some uploads that appeared to be to a like minded individual I added him to "Friends" and browsed his shares. Bingo!! TV Ads and Bloopers!! Queued a bunch of those up. (Looked like he had downloaded from me before)

Anyway, to make a long story slightly shorter in the approximately. 48 hours since I have seen the following in the vicinity of my harddrive:

37 Ads & Videos_____(Mpeg\Avi\Mov)_________200MB

7 Albums____________(RaR\Ace)_____________430MB

14 Games & Add-ons__(RaR\Ace\exe\ISO\zip)__3.23GB
______

Total d/l_________________________________3.86GB


Incomplete_______________________________1.40GB
