Shibathedog Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The action was instigated by the global Motion Picture Association (MPA), which claimed Razorback allowed around 1.3m computer users to access pirate copies of movies, music, TV recordings, games and applications. The move follows an aggressive programme begun in November 2004 to shut down major eDonkey servers, first in the US and now Europe. According to the MPA, while Swiss police were arresting Razorback's owner at his home, Belgian police were retrieving servers from Razorback's hosting centre in Zaventem near Brussels. http://www.zeropaid.com/news/6178/Euro+cop...ck+P2P+servers/ (click link on bottom of article for more info) This sucks, but its HARDLY the death of emule as alot of places are saying.

The good news is that e-mule can still survive with its first server still out there. Then there is always BitTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_cinder Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Aren't EDonkey servers like any other P2P? The files aren't hosted on them, so how can the server owner be held responsible for what the peers share on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 They aren't actually. Unlike most P2P programs I used in the past, eDonkey needs a central hub that peers connect to, and in the eDonkey network there are hundreds of these central hubs. At least that's the impression I've got. Somewhat similar to hubs in DC++, although there are no distinct channels in eD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 because supposedly they did a bad job "monitoring" what was on it. I was also wondering how they survived for so long, they had EVERYTHING, wow, like i dont agree with why they got in trouble, but i knew they would for some stupid unfair reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroK Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 The best thing is, that the cops did get no logs! The sysadmin configured the server in a way that all logs were only saved in Ram. And as the cops shut down the server all logs were gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floopy Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I still don't understand why edonkey is so popular. It takes forever to get a movie. There are much quicker, and easier forms of p2p. What bugs me is, there are a bunch of cool, rare movies on edonkey that I would like, but I don't have the patience (or bandwidth) to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I've never had to look for anything so rare that it would force me to turn to eDonkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 thats exactly why its so popular, EVERYTHING is on emule, it might be slow, but you can find ANYTHING hehe. Ive found some pretty rare stuff on there and it was worth the wait the thing that drove me nuts though, was it wasnt really slow download speeds, its just that they take foreeeevvveerrr to start.
