eDonkey Going Down
By Miel Van Opstal
The federal police from Brussels, Belgium, has confiscated most of the eDonkey servers on tuesday. The servers, located in Zaventem (where the Brussels National Airport is), represented one third (1/3) of the download traffic of the eDonkey network. This network is mostly used for sharing illegal files such as software, music and video, tv series and games. The application that allowed this filesharing is eMule. Two of the confiscated servers kept logs of more than 2 million users and gave access to more than 140 million illegal files. The federal police will conduct further investigations.
