Does any connect to KAD? The older emule clients used to crash on my machine when I used to connect, So I never bother.....
I was wondering how popular that network is?

Not all clients use kad. Its almost the same as e2k just u can't use: ()[]{}<>,._-!?:;\/
Maybe its kind of faster than e2k & results are listed faster
Yup I use Kad too, things appear faster,
emule clients all use kad. Very popular and a great addition. I get a lot of extra sources from the kad network... if you can connect, make sure you do.
You checked your firewall ports if your not connecting? You likely just need to open the kad port (its listed on www.emule-project.net in help)
KAD FTW :D
Always connecting to it. Even though one has the Source Exhange when using servers only you won't get all the sources on the KAD network if you aren't connected to it.
I use kad and it's pretty good. Fast and "secure" :P
The most popular emule mod Emule Plus doesn't have Kad as many others also don't have. There are over 200 clients made after emule.Quote:

I don't use emule much, but i would use it if i had such emule mod: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/t1253...ing+eMule.html
Don't really understand why soo much mods when none of em has really needed modifications. Direct copies of emule are many when very rare something that is written different. I tryed probably around 50 or more and each i tryed for few time. Kad may be a good idea, but i wonder what happens when u close it, no kad probably. Better to have more servers. Kad uses transport protocol udp on p2p. Kad was made to handle large numbers of computers connected, it was made after napster u might say, but when u on emule every one uses some other client many of em leecher clients and that why and because of other ppls internet and used upload speed emule might be very slow.
:ph34r: I use Kad, things appear safer
I use Kad all the time - do search of the something on the Kad and on the global server search. Me, I usually get more hits on Kad.
I use KAD,
my experience is that I can find more sources when searching rare files
Yep, Kad has been a great addition. Most of the sources for old files come through Kad.
Obviously it was implemented to make emule kinda future-proof and to act as a backup coz it's never a good thing to rely solely on servers. If the Netherland puts copyright laws in place like other countries, then surely all the top servers are gonna get shutdown and that's when emule will completely switch over to Kad.
Same here Kad seems great
sometimes is a server search faster the a kad search...
maybe it depents on what you are looking for:)
How does KAD work?
Kinda works like DHT in BT clients....it's a decentralized network.
kad increase the speed
I am using always KAD, its faster and better in search files, more sources.
agreed, also i use kad and it seems a little better
I seem to get more sources when i'm connected to Kad..
thanks
yes way not
I dont have that option on my current emule for some reason...
The Kad Network is a peer-to-peer network which implements the Kademlia P2P overlay protocol. This network is supported by eMule, MLDonkey and aMule. The majority of users on the Kad Network are also connected to servers on the eDonkey network, and Kad Network clients typically query known nodes on the eDonkey network in order to find an initial node on the Kad network.
The kad network uses UDP to
from my experience i can tell you that when u connet to Kad network things appear alot faster
- find sources for ed2k hashes,
- search for ed2k hashes based on keywords in the file name
- find comments and ratings on files (hashes)
- provide buddy services for firewalled (low ID) nodes.
- store locations, comments and (keywords out of) filenames
