Do Not Use Overnet?

[TRUE-=AZN=-TRUE]

Look what I have found on a web...

Major Overnet warning!!!!

Some apparently leaked information has come to our attention and if it’s true, using Overnet could put you in jail!

Allegedly the maker of edonkey who goes by the name Swampy was busted by the Fed’s a couple of months ago. As a part of a plea bargain to keep himself out of jail he agreed to let them have full access rights to his web site. Swampy did NOT create Overnet the Fed’s did however by appending Swampy’s name to it and distributing it via his web site meant it would be trusted through out the community. They used Microsoft’s .net software on purpose because it easily and secretly allows them to track users based on IP and Mac addresses via a special proxy server, It logs what their sharing and what their downloading each time they connect to Overnet. This information is also passed on to otherlaw enforcement agencies world wide.Overnet is NOT server less as it claims; the GUI just hides them along with many hidden features like the proxy server connection. They only want you to see what they want you to see.

Bottom line is if you already use or have used Overnet they already know who you are where you are and what you have done. Could be only a matter of time before they come a knocking!

P.S. Also the forum moderators at the edonkey web site have been replaced by Fed posers so be careful what you post their.

Dont know if it's true, but check out the filetopia thread. I've been knocking my head against the wall with Kazaa and its worms, trojans, and shit files for a couple years now. I think it was Overnet that I got Lightwave from, msvc++ 6 from filetopia, and screeching bad mp3's from kazaa... LOL!

It may be futile but the idea of encryption being used while connected to the p2p network at least 'sounds' better.

Unless you're trading kiddie porn, the 'Feds' have no reason to get involved, so on that basis I'd call hoax.

I assumed it was copied and pasted. But hey if you wanna slam newbs, far be it from me to... oh wait..., Unless of course your slamming is just weak ass shit...

Then it's just fun to ridicule.

Besides, running software without a users go-ahead is effectively hacking. They can't enforce the law by breaking it - any evidence gathered thusly would be considered invalid.
Well, at least here in the uk.

Just the same as any other p2p program.
