eDonkey2000

One of the first P2P programs for sharing files.

Each day less and less people remember that one of the most used program to exchange files, eMule, has a father application known as eDonkey2000.

  This program, property of MetaMachine, revolutionized Internet, being one of the first that combined the then new "peer to peer" (P2P) technology with a usable graphic environment.

  Afterwards there was an open source adaptation that changed the icon of the "donkey" for that of a "mule", generating one of the most important applications of the last decade.

  eDonkey2000 was actually the name of the net of servers promoted by MetaMachine. Known also by the ED2K acronym, this net still exists nowadays, being compatible with dozens of programs, between with we will find eMule and eDonkey2000.

  MetaMachine signed an agreement with the RIAA in 2006 by means of which eD2000 has stopped being operative.

  But if you want rummage with the programs executable, we offer it to you in a download specially thought for those that are more nostalgic.
