Bloodstar007 used our news submit to tell us
that file-sharing softwares eDonkey and Overnet have both been updated to version 0.49.4. These
latest versions include a new downloading system called 'Horde'.
In short Horde lets you team up with people that
are downloading the same file from the network. Every person will send parts of
the file to each other until the download is complete. The Horde will ensure
that the file is downloaded as fast as possible to everyone.
 Overnet
and eDonkey v0.49.4:
- New Horde download system
- Many crash bugs fixed
- Priority sorted correctly
- Search tabs now show filtered results
in tab (should decrease confusion)
- You can now paste multiple ed2k links
from the clipboard
- Commands starting with "q" don't quit
the app
- Cursor moved to end of command when
history used
- If a part is missing, it will always
show up in the progress bar (there were instances where it would
disappear depending on the bar length)
- Tree stuff is correctly clipped if the
first column width is made too small.
- Gone sources are only shown when you
are in verbose mode
- Tree column widths saved
- Console output now doesn't scroll when
you're looking at the history
- A folder is created for each new
download that organizes all of the associated parts. New style parts are
migrated to this style at startup.
- If you complete and a corruption is
found, it will re queue the download
and try and get the corrupt
part. (new style parts only!)
- ed2K links: Files over 2GB sizes are
correct now
- Ports greater than 32876 are now
shown correctly
