a new edonkey - edonkey-it.com

4. May 2006, 9:58 Uhradmin

edonkey-it.com was launched as an alternative to ed2k-it.com, one of the sites hammered by Hollywood’s MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) which, like its Big Four Organized Music brethren, is hell-bent on making sure you do, and buy, exactly what it tells you.

Athough ed2k-it.com is now back under new management with isoHunt.com and TorrentBox.com, many former users are leery of using it for obvious reasons, and edonkey-it.com founder infinity is one of them.

“I was once a member of ed2k-it and loved that site very much,” he says. But, he wonders, is the ‘new’ site really, “simply under new management that is still to be decided?” Or is there more to it?

Time will tell, but infinity says in the meanwhile, just in case, and just to be safe, edonkey-it.com, is still around and, “looking for people to fill the ranks”.

Free Limewire / P2P

A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology.A pure peer-to-peer network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both "clients" and "servers" to the other nodes on the network. This model of network arrangement differs from the client-server model where communication is usually to and from a central server. A typical example for a non peer-to-peer file transfer is an FTP server where the client and server programs are quite distinct, and the clients initiate the download.
