DonkeyServer, BigBang & Byte Devils eDonkey servers down/offline
According to anti-piracy.nl, 12 “BigBang” eD2k servers are being offline for 2 weeks already, after their hosting provider received a cease and desist letter from the dutch anti piracy organization BREIN.
Once again, it shows that their news report is full of deception and misinformation.
BREIN claims that those eDonkey servers facilitate and provide illegal content which they offer by payment. Now how ridiculous is that!
Also, DonkeyServer 1-6 are down/offline, along with Byte Devils and some other servers which were the major ones. It’s unclear if it has anything to do with BREINs action. It could also mean that other servers decided to shutdown so people would move on to the serverless Kademlia (Kad) network.
This is good news only, no more servers is no more centralization. Kad is a completely decentralized network, which enables searches without the use of an eDonkey server.
Because of this BREINless action, users will move much quicker to the better Kad network, which is of course a good thing.
From now on it’s recommended only to use the Kad network in applications like eMule, aMule and MLDonkey. Forget the eD2k servers, many of them left are fake, setup by anti piracy organizations to monitor you.

BREIN maybe a lice in the fur but still leaving scars.. They use the same tactics as their American counterparts: legal threats without going to court, smaller sites simply have no money to fight them since they are only hobbyists.
Having removed all remaining ED2K servers from eMule and only connecting Kad, I ‘ve found that Kad is now working better than ever. No lengthy wait periods like ed2k, the full bandwidth is used.
BEWARE Folks!
Even with the Certified Server List @ http://peerates.net/peerates/certifiedservers.met
There’s one Server located in the US.
Something’s Fishy…
Here’s the suspicious one–> ed2k://|server|66.29.81.125|6543|/
A Certified one from the States?
BEWARE!
Kad working better than ever for me also….
they will never stop filesharing.
kad is/has been for awhile working very well. i’m wondering if it’s even worth connecting to the few remaining fake free ed2k servers left. from the two sites that i load them from, the working amount went from around 60 something to the low teens.
This sucks…I guess I have to use Kad only which means I won’t get nearly as many sources because I download rare files! Even though most ed2k servers are fake all you need are a few good legit ones to get everything you need. And the TVU servers are the only ones I can think of that are valid in the US.
the only downside to kad is that people out there need to know how to work with their routers and/or many dsl modems (depending on how thier connection is set up), to figure how to open tcp/udp ports to make it fully function. other than that it seems much better over the last year, sometimes providing more results than the ed2k servers did when they were there.
Brein, RIIA, SIAE… all the same shit! They will never learn. Now we can use Kad in a better way. Ah ah ah…

is this list bogus now too

this is a ‘good’ server.
all servers in the trueservers.met list are tested and 100% ok.
I hope The Pirate Bay and the Pirate Party can establish some servers in Sweden…
DAMN THE RIAA and MPAA!!!
They have stopped Ed2k, but they will never stop filesharing.
They are funny, to celebrate this i will open the valves.
Long live the KAD network.
I wonder what will happen to the torrents sites… If they shut them down i bet KAD will become THE super node. When that happen, you will thank the RIAA, and finaly have a unified network.
Brein – loosers!!! Burn in Hell with RIAA.
Guys!! You must disconnect Edonkey for some time and connecting on KAD network!!
“the only downside to kad is that people out there need to know how to work with their routers”
Not everyone has control of their routers. This is a major pitfall of KAD, for me and a few people I know. Didn’t the overnet network work in this situation? Why can’t KAD?

Well, well, well…
you don’t get em all do you?!? So 100% OK is not true at all…
e.g.
208.122.17.118:443
Hostname: polaris.bitbooster.net
which in fact is owned by “s.v.r. consulting” (from canada btw) who are actively antip2p on bt and other networks as well, as we see here. heh
Oh geez, sounds like BREIN is trying anything to win a case since it lost a major one against SC. I was wondering what happened to the DonkeyServers. I noticed that the Razorback 3.0/3.1 is still alive those have been around for a while, they still safe?
Needless to say, The Winmx tragedy will bechance to Emule sooner than our expectances.
There is nothing much we can do.

KAD doesn’t work through my work firewall. kAD has problems through most firewalls that use a HTTP proxy that can only use port 80
KAD is rather useless for rare files, and then if you are not interested in rare files you’re better off with Torrents anyway… An ed2k server network is important for this, and because of it there will always be some servers around
depends what you consider rare. i’m not that much into mainstream music and more and more over the last year, kad has produced equal results for me. most things that showed up in ed2k servers that were not in kad results were old and non-existing files that would sit in the queue forever with no sources.
i don’t know about this difficulty with ‘rare’ files, i download a lot of obscure films and i’ve been getting better results, across the board, on kad for maybe the past 6 months at least…
Can anyone tell me how best to use KAD. I find that I can only download at about 5KBS with it. Thanks.
KAD is working very well!
MIGRATION IS IN FULL EFFECT
KAD IS NOW !
Como debemos conectar para que se funcione la nueva red KAD..???
HEre, in Brazil, KAD is off and ds1-6 are pff too
Shit…have just received a letter from ATARI’s lawyers in Germany…
hei
i am running peerguardian, doesn’t that make it safer?
also, i might be the lamest.. but how can i search if i am connected only to KAD? it says i am not online on any server..
you don’t get em all do you?!? So 100% OK is not true at all…

you’ra right.
this ip is now removed.
IT’s time for KAD rules the world now.
Is it ok to use the applejuice mod? Is Emule better by it’s self? How do I use the KAD instead of the Servers?
If you are looking for Rare files, you may try DC++
I have found it to be very fast if you are downloading from Swedish or American users. Depends on your connection I suppose.
yes, Kad’s Time!…
KAD DOESN’T WORK THROUGH HTTP FIREWALLS!!! KAD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH! IT IS NOT TIME FOR KAD
THey should go after the European downloaders, The Germans seem to think that you must download everything for free it is bad to buy anything. The Germans seem to be the worst with the stealing
To use Kad properly open the relevant UDP port in your firewall (and router if you have one)

How could I disconnect the ed2k servers and only use KAD?
Thanks in advance.
I use emule for downloading rare files by someone called royce da 5′9 the ED2K servers are hopeless for downloading these kinds of files with an average of 20 results per server where as in The Kad network my first search resulted in 331 results although Th ED2K Server would have to be the best for speed depending on the download and sources
how do I use the Kad thing?
eMule+KAD is the best for rare movies. It’s much better than DC++ (even bittorrent site Demonoid is better than DC++ at rarities). For example, right now I’m downloading a 700MB file and I’m half way (after 8 hours; I have a slow connection). 40 sources of which 15 has contributed so far. Of these, 3 are KAD, 6 “passive”, 3 source exchange and 3 ED2K servers. My best source in the list is a passive eMule client with KAD disabled. Of the 25 in the list which have the file but has given me nothing so far, only 1 is an ED2K server. Conclusion: Without ED2K servers, we who look for rare files will be much worse off. BTW, I’m using Razorback or Saugstube, no problems with them. Don’t know if they are fake or real but they have existed for a very long time so I’m hoping they’re real.
i used to get on the byte devils server every time but it has been offline for ages now. The roster of others is lame and always far more dodgy then byte devils which was my main link for countless years.
Fuck all these p2p haters trying to stifle inovation
Hi! I use Emule a lot of months and a big problem for this sharing program is the Server’s list. I have collected the greatest list of server link for Emule. It’s very usefull!. I hope helps you^^ Download the file Txt
It is actually true, they do ask payment for using EMULE nowadays. Even though u can still connect to the networks by using the free versions, emule as a main program is indeed paid.
