Hi all, It's been long time ago, but i want to thank Serguei for his informative and very useful comments. A more practical cause of the limited researches on eDonkey as well as Kazaa is their closed-source, proprietary and poorly-documented protocol. Most studies had to use simulations or crawlers based on reverse-engineered clients, which would result in lots of incompatiblities and might have caused bias in the results.
