File-sharers move from BitTorrent to eDonkey
File-sharers have moved away from the popular BitTorrent system following legal action, say experts. The study by the Cambridge-based Internet analysis firm CacheLogic found that eDonkey is now roughly on par with BitTorrent in the United States, China, Japan and Britain. It is the dominant peer-to-peer file-sharing network in South Korea, which has the world's highest percentage of high-speed Internet use, and also in Italy, Spain and Germany.
While the use of BitTorrent has fallen, file sharers have moved to an alternative network called eDonkey. This is a decentralised file-sharing network, where files are not stored on a central server but are exchanged directly between users based on the peer-to-peer principle. In countries such as the UK, Japan and China, eDonkey was as widely used as BitTorrent, found CacheLogic. In others like South Korea, it has become the most popular way of swapping content.
