Does any connect to KAD?

[FirebaughBPN]

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.

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?

[GARY I]

I use KAD,

my experience is that I can find more sources when searching rare files

[Natally]

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.

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

[odjud]

Same here Kad seems great

[Kingofquestions]

sometimes is a server search faster the a kad search...

maybe it depents on what you are looking for

[sarawna]

Yup I use Kad too, things appear faster,

[peehcm]

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

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.
