Yes and NO:
Both eDonkey2000 and eMule can connect to the "old" server based "ed2k"
network; (like a bridge) but eDonkey2000 can connect to the Overnet
network and NOT to the emule's "kad" network; eMule can use the
"kad" network but NOT the Overnet's one.
so:
Overnet network: Overnet YES; eDonkey2000 YES; eMule NO
ed2k "server based" network: Overnet NO; eDonkey2000 YES; eMule YES
"kad" network: Overnet NO; eDonkey2000 NO; eMule YES
> Can I use any one of these in place of any other?
Yes; because both eDoneky2000 and eMule uses the "ed2k server based"
network; acting as a "bridge" between overnet network and "kad" network.

Yes.

There is no eMule2000 :P
> Of the three which is the best one to use?
IMHO pure Overnet; no credits; less overhead compared to ed2k and "kad"; better
queue handling; less CPU and HD space needed.
BTW; take a tour with all 3 and take your own conclusion ;)
lala
I use the clean version of Overnet and eMule... both programs
are working okay for me.
