Looks like eDonkey is pretty popular p2p client in Korea. I remember using edonkey back in the day when Napster kicked the bucket and I thought eDonkey sucked back them. Anyone tried using it lately?

I use Bittorrent for the majority of time, but I need to use a p2p client for random files like rare songs or software.

I used it a couple of years ago. It's still slow. Sometimes useful for finding rare files.

I attempted to access eDonkey a year ago and got a pop-up that said downloading movies and other copyrighted materials is against the law. That in addition to my students saying it is a virus infested site, keeps me far, far away.

either donkey or emule was shut down. and the remaining one isn't that great anymore.

emule is great.

Emule is great for Korean stuff. I tried some stuff like Hangul to check download speeds, (got 1.5MB/s on that) and Korean songs my wife wanted.

Be careful with emule. There is an Emule.com and an Emule.org. My antivirus program warns me about the .com but the .org seems OK. I personally don't trust either but maybe other posters can give you a more informed opinion.

emule.org and emule.com are both scams sites.
Those 2 asks for emails or to dial a 900 number.

The original is emule-project.net
emule is pretty good at finding those rare files that you can't find anywhere else. Especially if you connect to the kad network.

I run an old version...quite old now. Still rocks, but is smaller and IMO, cleaner.

Try to find an old version instead of the latest. It may be a bit less secure in one way, but more secure in others.
