Kind of off-topic subject, however ... mldonkey is your friend: - supports overnet, edonkey, bittorent, limewire, gnutella P2P protocols and more. - core client architecture: telnet, GUI and web interface - reliable and very stable Drawbacks: search engine isn't that good (but you don't realy need it, do you?), likes memory ;) Save you some time trying out all the shiny clients and stick with mldonkey straight away.
