I tried to install this new version, but every time i wanted to start it, the program freezed, so I had to shut it down. The interface is the same stupid as in the earlier version and I don't believe there are any other improvements. I used to use this program a few years ago, but of the files I really wanted get there were only one or two sources, and the people who shared them sometimes had really slow connections, so I had to wait a lot to get anything. The admins kick you because you are blonde or you have blue eyes or just because they are depressed a bit, or any other reason without any logic. The users sometimes disconnect you (or themselves from the hub) when your download just started. There are TOO many rules to connect to a hub and there's no logic in the rules either. For one hub you have to share 50 MB of files and you must have three slots to upload and you can connect to five other hubs, on the other you have to share 50 GB, you must have five slots, but you can connect only to two other hubs and so on. Though it doesn't really matter, because mostly the same files are present on each hub: the bigger the hub is the more people share the same files. And most of the shared files are available on any other network that hasn't got these stupid limitations. The only good thing in this network is that the admins check the files so there are no fakes or viruses that ed2k is full of. |

This is the worst file sharing program I've ever used. It is slow, it takes a LOT of time the downloads to begin due to the long queues, it CAN'T save the sources found for any file and the search results are full of fake files: if you, for example, search for "bog", it will list everything: dog, log, fog, and a lot of other titles that don't even contain the word "bog". It has to many options the configure the colors used in the different windows but only a few to set the transfer speed. The development was cancelled a long time ago, though there would be a lot to do. The program often disconnects from the network, so if you managed to get to the beginning of a queue you will get to the end when reconnecting. The files added to the download queue can't be renamed only manually after exiting the program. In one word, in its current state, the program is a crap. |
