Now my question : Any review about Overnet? Is better that eMule or?

Some people like it better then eMule, because download speeds seem faster, however, I believe it comes with spyware.
And it producesa a lot of overhead, although I have all this info from others I've never tried it myself.

I blocked the spyware from installing with my firewall and am running the pro version. It does start downloading way faster then emule does but so far the download speeds seem to vary alot more.

Overnet is worth a look...

Even though you unselect stuff, there is still installed Crab on your computer.

I posted a topic about this a week ago, you can find it here (http://klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=87593)

overnet is only has a banner and you can search for its crack(banner free loader) on the free version then just use the loader to load it, its much faster and has more results then emule

How can it be faster and have more results than eMule if he is running on same network as eMule?

overnet is a good program but if your behind a router it will slow down your speed and it works great for me. As in comparsion for kazaalite its about the same but with overnet you can find more better files. ;)

Yeah, maybe you&#39;re right. But I don&#39;t trust Overnet and will never trust it...

i recommend finding a reason not to trust programs, and overnet has no reason so far not to be trusted, if you know what you are doing :lol:

Yes, but those 3rd parties... Makes me a bit cunfused. eMule doesn&#39;t. And I like GUI of eMule more than Overnet&#39;s GUI.
