basicly it's a serverless ed2k protocol like overnet, with more features and opensourced

I've found there is lots of technical information on Kad, but there doesn't seem to be any plain english explaination of what it is or what it does.
Thanks Vargas! Does anyone have any more info on it, like if any other apps are implementing it, what sort of speed increases does it bring, how it attaches to emule, etc.

any other apps are implementing it
only eMule and eMule mods connect to kad
what sort of speed increases does it bring
it won't bring much for speed increases, if fact it might make them slow down since it's a serverless network, and uses up some bandwith indexing and handling search requests.
it just is another way to find sources, but eMule finds MOST sources through source exchange, so as long as you have some sources, you should get the rest via source exchange.
about the only thing kad is good for is if the ed2k servers go down, or youre downloading rare files with few sources.
your mileage may vary. . .

Ah - Very helpful, thanks.
Sounds like the mule is trying to be a gnutella...
Hey, it's still a good idea.

ive used emule with kad for some time now and i must say it seems to find more sources for me ----i dl lots of rare files or files not that commen : eg techno sets and speeds are pretty good for me
Im using 0.42 oxygen , a french mod i found somewhere
In the end ive noticed that it always depends on what files u are trying to dl with emule : common files ---good speeds
rare files ---not so good speeds
