From the users' point of view, using the eDonkeynetworkis similarto the Gnutellanetwork.
ln realitycommunicationis basedon centralservers. You have to installa clientprogramto
use the network. There are severalclientsfor the eDonkeynetwork;the most popularones
are: eDonkey2000,eMule,Shareaza.
The user of an eDonkeynetworklinks to a networkserver. The serversare responsiblefor
indexingand finding the data of the search inquiries. The serversconnectto each other,
makingit possibleto searchthroughthe whole networkfrom each server. Each clienthas to
queue up to downloada particularfile. Your positionin the queuedependson each user's
ratioof downloadsto uploads,and on the priorityof the file requested.As soon as you get to
the front of the queue,the downloadcan start. The data is receivedin packagesof nine MB
in size. You can downloadseveralfiles from severalclientssimultaneously.An individual
