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.

well, is it worth it if you dont pay for it? is the basic version worth it?

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...
