I haven't used it, but it's my understanding it only uses OpenFT, and not
FastTrack...but that info may be outdated. 

I don't know if you've seen them, but you may want to consider the nap
(commandline) client as well as edonkey. The nap client now hits the OpenNap
servers and not the official Napster servers. And it connects automagically
- with others I found I had to manually connect, but sometimes that's a
bonus if you want to connect to one of the specialized servers. Then there's
the various Gnutella clients or IRC...
