eDonkey2000 is a peer-to-peer file sharing application that was popular in the early 2000s. It allowed users to share and download files over the internet, utilizing a decentralized network. The software was known for its ability to handle large files and its unique system of file hashing, which helped ensure data integrity. The eDonkey network operated alongside other file-sharing networks, such as Overnet and BitTorrent. Users could connect to multiple servers, increasing the chances of finding and downloading the desired files. Although its popularity has declined, eDonkey2000 played a significant role in the evolution of file sharing.
