WTF!? I thought that Kad was based on Overnet.
eMule developers just aren't very imaginative with names.
Overnet is based on the Kademlia routing protocol developed by Petar somebody or other and some other peeps at MIT.

Seems this is based on:
- Idea that the network is blocking exlite - but the conclusion for now in this thread is that this is a version compatibility problem.
- Requirement (at one time) of users to keep client open (as supernodes) - but as pointed out here somewhere this doesn't mean the network isn't decentralized nonetheless.
Unless I've missed something that seems to be about it?
So for now it looks as tho exeem is decentralized.

Exeem/Protocol
From infoAnarchy Wiki
< Exeem
The Exeem protocol is the network protocol that Exeem uses.
Exeem only begins a connection to the Exeem network when it begins an operation. On Exeem's initial connection to the Exeem network, it bootstraps. It does this by doing a DNS lookup on four FQDNs, all of which as of January 22, 2005 point to the same IP address. Exeem then connects to this IP address on port 1026, sends an Exeem packet with function "6". The server responds with a list of 20 or so Exeem Superpeers to connnect to. Subsequently, when one does a search or new files research, the Exeem client connects to these 20 hosts and does a search, or a request for new files.

'
Computer A (111.111.111.111) is asking for a song from Computer B (222.222.222.222)
So ComputerA makes a direct connection to the IP Address 222.222.222.222. So if PersonB was hosting a fake file, he could get the IP Address of PersonsA....
'
Am i right?
Also if this is so, is there anyway of hiding your IP Address from them?? i think IP Spoofing does something like that, but i actually want to know how it works.... could someone plz help me out here?
TIA.
I hope that all made sense. :D
