Same here. I tested amule for a few days (due to "client too old" msgs in 
MLdonkey) and it's no match for mldonkey. I didn't download a single file in 
3 days. I couldn't wait to see the new version and I'm glad that project is 
ALIVE!

I did upgrade yesteday and currently I'm not satisfied with number of 
connected servers on eDonkey network. MlDonkey does not seem to connect to 
any server if bittorrent is enabled. I had one bittorrent download when 
migrating to 2.5-4. Though bittorrent itself was downloading just fine with 
approx, speed of 15k.

BT download itself is another strange thing. This file I'm DLing is over 2Gigs 
and is currently at 101.4%!! Dl size: 2362253312 bytes of 2317242368 bytes
Most of the chunks are verified and some in the end are partial or missing. 
File keeps on downloading over 100%, but not after I restart MLdonkey then it 
falls below 90% and continues there.

I'm about to diss this file and disable BT plugin.
