P2P supremacy rests on no laurels. First, Napster, then Gnutella, then Morpheus (as a FastTrack client), then KaZaA (likewise on FastTrack). Now the eDonkey/Overnet tandem (they are independent networks but each can access the files of each other's user base) is gaining on KaZaA.
"As FastTrack sits only 800,000 users ahead of the eDonkey2000/Overnet community, its days as the reigning king of file-sharing are certainly numbered. As the developers of eDoney2000/Overnet continue to refine and improve their network by introducing new technology, FastTrack has remained virtually unchanged since its inception. Unless Sharman pulls miracle instead of adding more third party software, its most likely by the end of 2004 the eDonkey2000/Overnet community will be the top file-sharing network."
