eDonkey is dead. Who will be the next Donkey

The eDonkey2000 Network is no longer available.

If you steal music or movies, you are breaking the law.

Courts around the world — including the United States Supreme Court –
have ruled that businesses and individuals can be prosecuted for illegal
downloading.

You are not anonymous when you illegally download copyrighted material.

Your IP address has been logged.

Respect the music, download legally.

MetaMachine, operator of the P2P-network eDonkey and publishers of the Client software of the same name has given up! Under the address edonkey.com is now the brittle reference to the attitude of the service as well as a legal note, according to which one offends against the law, if one steals. With the following threat that the IP address of the visitor is stored, it retires also eDonkey as one the last commercial P2P services. The mourning over this parting holds itself measurably within limits. The Client software eDonkey 2000 was replaced in its meaning already long by the open SOURCE software eMule and is now in its newer versions absolutely useless. Only older versions of the Client software should be now still usable. Nevertheless does not show the eDonkey traces. At present in the P2P-Network still has 4.3 million users. Now compare this to March when it only had about 3.5 million.

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.
