eDonkey

eDonkey is a peer-to-peer file sharing network that allows users to share and download files directly from each other's computers. It uses a central server to coordinate connections but doesn't host the files itself. Users connect to the network using special software, searching for and retrieving files from other members. The system is commonly used for sharing large files, such as music, videos, and documents. While efficient, eDonkey's sharing practices have raised legal concerns regarding copyrighted material, and users should be aware of applicable laws when using such networks.
