== eDonkey2000 network == Users on the [[eDonkey network|eDonkey2000 network]] predominantly share large files of tens or hundreds of [[megabytes]], such as CD images, videos, games, and software programs. To ease file searching, some websites list the [[checksum]]s of sought-after files in the form of an [[ed2k link]]. Some of those websites also have lists of active servers for users to update. MetaMachines has also created another file-sharing network called [[Overnet]], which interoperates with the [[eDonkey network]], but without the use of servers. Most eDonkey clients also now use the Overnet network. In 2004, MetaMachines announced it would stop development of Overnet to concentrate on eDonkey2000 (though the eDonkey2000 client now includes the Overnet protocol). eDonkey has since been closed down.
