VERYCD Electric Donkey Quietly change body

For domestic internet users, VERYCD development of the electric donkey (that is, easymule) know a lot of people. As one of the most well-known modified versions (MOD) of Electric Mule (eMule), VERYCD Electric donkey has launched more than 40 upgrades since 2007.

And at least for the last time, there is no version of VERYCD, like the 1.1.13 stable version released April 9 this year, as iconic. Since this version began, the VERYCD has completely eliminated the search for like servers and Kad network resources, and the old version is also limited.

Since then, users using VERYCD will only be able to search the content on the VERYCD Web site or the so-called "VERYCD privatisation search Network".

Restricting users to search for and download shared content on a larger scale, the VERYCD's behavior runs counter to its open-source properties. Some radical users, while expressing dissatisfaction, also speculate that VERYCD is continuing to promote content monopoly, accelerate from open source to commercial closed footsteps.

In the Internet market competition, this kind of change is not uncommon. Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports have revealed that VERYCD has recently been low-key in gaining an investment.
