eDonkey search..does it work?

[Smoketoomuch]

I hope this won't be out of date (the last reply being posted a week ago) but somehow it escaped my attention. Use eDonkeyBot. You can find it here:

or direct link

This links are taken from the donkey forum, you can read what's new there:

I use the bot v080 with edonkey v59. These work fine together, but the links above take you to v081.

Bot is compatible with official version, download at : http://www.edonkey2000.com/downloads.html

Also, I switched bot off when I read this at http://217.162.89.158/ipchange.html

" I think I've found a possible problem, some weeks ago the hits increased dramatically and I'm 98% sure that it's from this edonkeyBot ! About 9 from 10 request came from the bot (don't ask me why I know that) so I now will begin to refuse these requests. I saw that now just my mirrors are given as url in the bot0.62, so maybe I have to take these mirrors also down due too much traffic for my ISP (the bot produced about 500'000 hits per day on my server!) ... if everyone is using this bot, edonkey will die ;-( The reason for my serverlist was that not everyone has to check the servers himself and therefore the servers have more time to do what they really should do ! I don't know what to say anymore ..."

It was written by Maurice, who keeps an updated server list for the donkey - works similarly like trippymx for WinMX.


Then I swithced bot on again ten minutes later, when I read that the problem was solved. I post the link to that thread, because I when I read it. Read it, its very funny:

Hope this helps.
