Talk:Comparison of eDonkey software

BitTorrent support
This is a comparison of eDonkey features so "BitTorrent support" isn't pertinent -- ale5000 02:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Legit?
This article seems to have parts in it that sound like an advertisement. Especially in some of the "extra features" sections. 24.18.240.159 (talk) 02:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I think it should be removed. If there is anything really noteable it should be added as a new column.217.68.170.234 (talk) 19:40, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I removed the the "extra features"/"others" section. Stulle 134.109.232.26 (talk) 08:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

features
in the notes/others are many features which could be added in the feature-tables as well. and there are many features which aren't explained. for example: PowerShare. in the table are so many different "names" for this that the reader get the sight that every mod/soft2ware have their own implementation with other features. Mabdul (talk) 13:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Webcache column
I think the Webcache column can be removed. Ever since the major mods decided to drop it is the effect of that feature is getting weaker and it is no longer bringing any real advantage so why not saving the space? Stulle217.68.170.234 (talk) 19:46, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I removed it now. Stulle 134.109.232.26 (talk) 08:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Removing some clients
I noticed Morpheus, Jubster and Hydranode lack basically any real information. Anybody against removing those? Additionally, the eMule Viper mod and eMule Tombstone mod are discontinued and were released on eMule 0.47c which is well over a year ago. I suggest removing those, too. Stulle 134.109.232.26 (talk) 08:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I just removed the clients I mentioned in my previous psot. I think this makes the page a lot more useful and cleaner. - Stulle 77.64.165.241 (talk) 09:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Non-notable clients
Virtually every emule variant is either redlinked or extlinked. If these variants are not notable enough to have their own articles, they don't need to be included here. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:06, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I partly disagree, but theres another problem: this list isn't very useful if it can't keep itself up-to-date, as features and this stuff usually changes every release; and almost all of this list isnt updated (most of it points .47 clients, when current version is .49b )... we need someone to update... or is there an automated way to do it? 189.62.200.109 (talk) 20:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I just updated some stuff and removed old 0.47 clients that are likely to never return. See aboves entry, I already suggested that back in the days. As for the not being notable, defining the term notable for eMule mods is extremely hard. Although ZZUL does not attract many users it played a big roll in introducing USS (Upload Speed Control) in the official client and the development of this feature before. It further had a huge impact on many other mod(ification)s in terms of upload management and such. Xtreme for instance is certainly notable because it still attracts huge numbers of users even though the original coder quit and the project was taken over. This all means to say there should indeed be more frequent updates and less selfish updates. I know some people do actually update this list when they update their mod own or their favorite mod is updated but they just ignore other clients which they should not. During my update I did my best to get it all updated properly... - Stulle 77.64.165.241 (talk) 09:26, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Linux support for Shareaza
I've unlisted Linux from the Operating System supported by Shareaza; even if it works with wine it does not mean Linux is supported. Otherwise we should list Internet Explorer as a Linux application! 147.122.5.205 (talk) 11:00, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Diffferent Builds -- Need Update Frequency
When evaluating different clients, not only do we need to know which variant MAY be current (via the versions) but which ARE current or actually the other way around... not which ARE current but MAY be current (aka which which continue to be current).... or inactive or intermittent. I think that would be a nice new column to evaluate and monitor and maintain, however difficult it may be. I would rather be on a build with a large developer base which is consistent than on something sporadic that may be currently new.

I am currently looking at what is what and looking at current versions and finding that what is on official site is not what is on wiki. So that is Part B... leading to the primary question when while these different options be updated.

So ultimately, the number of updates vs official may be something to track and monitor or some date based thing? This is difficult as thing separate, but if they maintain the same "officicial" version numbers and aren't complete offshoots...

IP to country
Why has this column been removed? I request it to be readded again.

xMule and some eMule mods should have a place here
xMule and some eMule mods (whose articles had existed for a long time but was eventually deleted) should at least have a place in this article:

xMule was deleted for non-notability several days ago. I didn't receive any notification of the AfD, I would probably argue that:
 * The reason of that deletion included "[...] There is no reliable third-party coverage at all [...]", but, there was a known case, RIAA/MPAA vs. xMule Author, with third-party coverage back then (uncontroversial Slashdot posts are reliable sources)
 * aMule was based on xMule
 * xMule has 7 other languages versions

After the deletion, Anton.bersh went to Comparison of eDonkey software and eDonkey network and removed everthing xMule-related, which I don't understand. You see, the deletion of xMule is already controversial. Given the three arguments listed above, and given that it's very informative to include xMule's infomation to be compared with aMule (xMule's fork) here, xMule can definitely have a place here in this article, currently named Comparison of eDonkey software (but could be renamed to "eDonkey software" or "list of eDonkey software" if we convert it to a normal article or a list in the future), and have xMule redirected here to it's section in this article.

eMule MorphXT Mod and eMule Xtreme Mod were also deleted years ago, we can do the same thing to them. (I'm sure eMule MorphXT Mod/MorphXT Mod/MorphXT was deleted several years ago, but judging by its log, it seems someone has recreated the article and then it has been deleted again. Well, it shows it surely is controversial to COMPLETELY delete eMule MorphXT Mod.) So I suggest we give a place in eDonkey software to these previously deleted eDonkey software articles. I can also find third-party articles for them, to establish them far enough notability to at least have redirect pages to sections or anchors in eDonkey software. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 11:31, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

lMule was nominated for deletion as well. The reason for lMule's deletion is bad: "the lMule project was completely dropped", that's not a valid reason, we do not include a project just because it's actif and remove it because it's inactif. But, well, what can I say? If xMule was deleted, then yeah, lMule, which looks less notable than xMule, should be deleted too if you have the same standard. OK, I guess we could probably do the same: not having an article but keeping them here with a redirect link. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 12:02, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

xMule has just been undeleted (all reasons it should be kept). lMule's WP:PROD has been canceled. For the deleted eMule MorphXT Mod, eMule Xtreme Mod, eMule Plus (and other related articles that are potentially deletable), I suggest we do what I said above. --Tomchen1989 (talk) 19:16, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
