Question Edonkey versus Overnet

Finally got fed-up of being told I'm running Overnet when I should be running Edonkey so installed the latter. I've booted Edonkey 4 times tonight & never got above 4K per second download, though uploads were fine. Went back to Overnet & within 5 minutes was downloading at 50+ K per second.

Am I doing something wrong? I have mirrored all Overnet settings into Edonkey....

Thanks
Steve
