The whole 'Rock The Vote' charade was a thinly veiled attempt to get young people afraid they were going to be drafted if George W. Bush stayed in power.
Oh please, stop with the tinfoil hat assertions. As a former intern at Rock the Vote's offices, my experience at the office headquarters had been entirely bi-partisan. Our goal was straight and simple. Increase voter turnout among the nation's youth. Saying we had an insidious goal to oust Bush is absolutely ridiculous.
Nice try, but no cigar.
There's a huge schism between the two ed2k client communities.
The eDonkey2000 has the Horde system. Users setting a file to priority "Highest" will give priority to other users with the same file on "Highest" priority.
However, eMule has the credit system. The more you upload, the more you can download.
These two systems are incompatible with each other. The discussions about this subject are frequent and fiercely debated on both of the eDonkey and eMule forums.
The main reason I use eDonkey2000? ed2k links. You can click on a link that has a MD5 hash of the file you want from an HTML file and it immediately places the download in your eDonkey queue without having you to search for the file yourself. It's great for finding file releases that have a lot of sources, thereby quickening your download.
With the amount of people salivating at the enormous potential of modding with Doom 3, why should id put their efforts into multiplayer when there are thousands upon thousands of people waiting to build it for them?

...Or eDonkey's Overnet... Not everything centers around eMule you insensitive clod. :)
