eDonkey / Overnet / eMule Met Files "Blank" Help!

[newParadigm]

Hello,

Yesterday I tried to copy some of my part files to another drive because the one I was using was full. I copied the files but forgot to delete them from the orignal drive, so i never really changed the files.

Anyway when I opened eDonkey2000 v0.50.1 I noticed only three off my 130+ downloads were there. I checked the temp directory to find that many of the files had blank *.met and *.met.bak files.

Others had blank *.met files but had *.met.bak files, I presume these are backups, and proceeded to remove the blank *.met files and rename the *.met.bak files to *.met. Those files worked in eDonkey again.

Is there anyway for me to restore or regenerate these *.met files?

Thankyou,
nwParadime

I dont have a lot of experience with P2P software nor do I want to. But from what I gather Kazaa Lite is better because it has no adware/spyware and Kazaa has loads more users to download from then e-Donkey. Sorry that I can't be any help for the problem at hand.

Edonkey is totally different from Kazaa or Kazaa lite. I don't believe the official client uses spyware, and I know for certain that the Emule client (which a "person I know well" uses 😉) does not contain spyware. Emule has other advantages over Kazaa; this person I know has found it very reliable for getting large files - much more so than Kazaa Lite. Oh, and I'm sorry, but I don't know what has happened to the temp files, but I do seem to recall hearing of that problem from a "reputable source" with the official client (which was somewhat buggy, in his experience). The Emule client works much better, or so he says. 😎
