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.
