Altnet Hooks Up With eDonkey/Overnet

Most of the 'immense' user base uses eMule, not the official eDonkey client, and rightly so. The serverless Overnet used to be a bit more interesting case, but whatever interest I had is now gone.

'Most' is quite the understatement... my eMule stats say 91% eMule, with regular and hybrid donkey picking up some 7%. Usually it's even more in favour of eMule. If donkey goes commercial, eMule will just split the network, as will the servers. eDonkey has always had some optional spyware.

Serverless eMule has nothing in common with Overnet, so no worries there.
