I just discovered, that even though you deselect alot all 4 of the bundled adversting applications (New.Net...) you still get crab installed on your PC.

Its something called FlashTrack (C:\Program Files\Flt) & eZula.

It simply is very disapointing for my taste!

LET IT BE CLEAR, The text above reffers to the official eDonkeyHybrid & Overnet clients, witch is available at http://www.edonkey2000.com/ & http://www.overnet.com/

Is eMule able, directly, to connect to the Overnet network? NOO&#33; It Is Not&#33; So don&#39;t call me a fool&#33; :angry:

I can always get better speeds at a smaller amount of time on Overnet. Incl. I just mentioned it to people in here in case someone wanted to know, because I wanted. I hate having all that adware/spyware cra on my PC, and then why not let users of Overnet, or the eDonkeyHybrid, know?

Dude, I already said that even if you deselect them that stupid installer still installs adware/spyware applications.

maybe you should have run spybot/adaware BEFORE installing overnet/edonkey2000, to make sure you didn&#39;t already have it on your pc, they don&#39;t install any 3rd party stuff if you dont select it in the setup.

If you don&#39;t belive me then OK&#33; I don&#39;t care&#33; But when I tested this, I carefully looked at the content of my C:&#092;Program Files and then I install Overnet and found the appliactions I mentioned in my main topic. And there aren&#39;t something strange about my PC&#33;

I know, but still, the installation claims that it doesn&#39;t install adware/spyware if not selected by user.

Try to take a look at the Add- or Remove Programs list and look for eZula, that one is installed by the Overnet installer. Incl. look for a folder in C:&#092;Program Files named Flt that is installed by Overnet.

I have used Overnet for ages and have never had any spyware installed.Maybe yours is from another program.

Hmmm, I don&#39;t think so, I checked my C:&#092;Program Files before I installed Overnet.

If what you are saying is true then how come both Spybot and Ad-Aware do not detect it?

well what i think happened, if you look on FileMirrors (http://www.filemirrors.com/search.src?file=overnet0.52.exe) you will see at least 11 different filesizes for overnet0.52.exe, from 1.30 MB to 2.59 MB, all coming from overnet.com
maybe you downloaded it on a day they were "paying some bills"
i&#39;ve installed edonkey2000 and overnet and didn&#39;t get any foistware with it.

You receive LOW ID if your ports are somehow not reachable for other users. Yuo get HIGH ID if your ports are accessible for other user even if you&#39;re a leecher.

Edit:

About IDs (in eMule Help) (http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/help.cgi?l=1&topic_id=103&rm=show_topic)

About something you call reward system (actually there&#39;s no reward system, but something calld "Queue Ranking"): eMule clients show a QR:[x] in the source view. QR stands for queue ranking and it is your current position in this source&#39;s queue. Obviously, a lower value is better.

Your QR is modified by your "score", read about it here (http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/help.cgi?l=1&topic_id=104&rm=show_topic).
