Hi,

Could you clarify, that is this implementation of Overnet or ed2k ? The
difference between these two is that there are both clients and server in the
ed2k network. In Overnet, however, there is only overnet clients (servants)
which require no server connection upon client bootstrap when joining to 
network.

Even though Overnet is next generation of ed2k, Overnet is backward compatible
with ed2k network.
