eDonkey rides like the wind in P2P protocol races

FastTrack-based file sharing applications such as KaZaA rule in America but Europeans are increasingly turning to alternatives.

Researchers from network management company Sandvine found FastTrack-based applications still generate more than 76 per cent of all P2P traffic in North America.

But in Europe, end-user preferences tend to vary country-by-country, with FastTrack often playing second fiddle to newer applications like eDonkey, which is particularly popular for trading videos. In Germany, for instance, eDonkey accounts for more than 52 per cent of file sharing traffic against 44 per cent for FastTrack.

More dirt.

I think e-donkey is good but I prefer its sister program, overnet. Both are kind of a precursor to bittorrent. My only gripe is that it is still a slow network.
