File-sharers have moved away from the popular BitTorrent system following legal action, say experts.
Instead they have moved to another network called eDonkey, showed a study by internet analysis firm CacheLogic.

It found that eDonkey has become the dominant peer-to-peer file-sharing network in countries such as South Korea, Italy, Germany and Spain.

The study seems to suggest that the legal action to stamp out file-sharing is meeting with limited success.

Do you hesitate using torrents? i don't :blink:

Do you really think people are making a move back to eDonkey? I like using torrents.
I haven't used eDonkey in years though. Anyone tried it lately?

No, LOL, not you :o Karl was being mean to you! He told you a torrent was a stream of water <_<

A torrent is a type of file sharing where downloaded files on people's computers are "shared" you might say. This provides better speed and better access. LOL, don't quote me on it though, i can't find any good words for this explanation.

And Karl ***smacks karl on the head***
