eD2K Project Inventory

Last verified: 2026-05-23

This inventory tracks active, stale, obscure, and historical projects around eD2K, eDonkey2000, eMule, Kad, server software, controller tooling, protocol libraries, and eMule mods.

It is a research index, not an endorsement list. Projects marked historical or archive-only may still be valuable protocol and product references, but they should not be treated as maintained dependencies without a fresh review.

Status Labels

Status Meaning
Active Recent or ongoing development is visible, or the project is owned by this workspace.
Maintained Usable and periodically maintained, but not necessarily fast-moving.
Stale Source exists, but no current development was apparent during review.
Historical Important for provenance or protocol behavior, but no longer a current project.
Archive-only Local or public archive evidence exists; upstream may be gone or binary-only.
Needs verification Name or lead is useful, but source, license, or project identity still needs confirmation.

ED2K Server Software

Server software is listed separately from server lists. A server implementation accepts eD2K/eMule client connections, handles login/search/source operations, and may expose UDP status or admin APIs.

  • goed2k-server
  • Status: Active
  • Language: Go
  • Source or archive: https://github.com/chenjia404/goed2k-server

  • Notes: Go ED2K/eMule server built around github.com/monkeyWie/goed2k; implements login, status, message, ID assignment, offer files, search, search-more, source lookup, callbacks, JSON/MySQL/PostgreSQL catalog storage, and admin UI/API. The eMuleBB managed fork lives at https://github.com/emulebb/goed2k-server.

  • p2p-overlord ED2K server

  • Status: Historical reference
  • Language: Go
  • Source or archive: https://github.com/p2p-overlord/p2p-overlord-ed2k-server

  • Notes: Renamed fork lineage retained only as historical reference; active eMuleBB workspace topology tracks goed2k-server directly. The obsolete emulebb-ed2k-server fork slug has no current public repository and should not be used.

  • ed2kd

  • Status: Stale
  • Language: C
  • Source or archive: https://github.com/gureedo/ed2kd

  • Notes: eDonkey2000 server implementation using libevent, zlib, libconfig, and SQLite support. Local research checkout exists in archived server material.

  • eNode

  • Status: Stale
  • Language: Node.js
  • Source or archive: https://github.com/zt8989/eNode

  • Notes: Experimental eD2K/eMule server. README describes TCP/UDP opcodes, obfuscation, Lugdunum/eMule extended protocol, LowID callbacks, files over 4 GiB, and pluggable storage through MySQL or MongoDB.

  • gomule

  • Status: Stale
  • Language: Go
  • Source or archive: https://github.com/HackLinux/gomule

  • Notes: Go "Goroutines eMule Server" project. Treat as a small historical implementation reference until protocol coverage is revalidated.

  • ed2j

  • Status: Historical
  • Language: Java
  • Source or archive: https://github.com/vavavr00m/ed2j

  • Notes: Java repository automatically exported from Google Code. Contains an ed2k/server tree and is useful as an obscure server-side protocol reference.

  • Lugdunum eserver

  • Status: Historical, archive-only
  • Language: Native binary
  • Source or archive: https://lugdunum.shortypower.org/kiten.html

  • Notes: Dominant historical eDonkey/eD2K server family. Gratis but not open source; local binary/decompile research archive exists. Use for protocol behavior notes only, not as a source dependency.

  • satan-edonkey-server

  • Status: Historical, needs verification
  • Language: Unknown
  • Source or archive: Historical references only
  • Notes: Announced in 2007 as an alternative eDonkey server after major server shutdowns. Keep as a research lead until source or a trustworthy archive is found.

Maintenance Procedure

Refresh this file when a new eD2K/eMule-related repo is discovered or before using any project as implementation evidence.

  1. Search both public sources and local research archives.
  2. Classify server implementations separately from server lists, bootstrap services, protocol libraries, clients, controllers, and mods.
  3. Prefer canonical upstream URLs. If only a local checkout exists, keep the entry as needs verification until an upstream, archive, or provenance link is found.
  4. Record closed-source historical servers as protocol/history evidence only.
  5. Validate whether source, binary archive, license, and protocol coverage are actually present before changing status from needs verification.
  6. Keep rows concise and factual. Do not add marketing claims or endorsement language.

Recommended recurring searches:

ed2k server github
eDonkey server source code
Lugdunum eserver archive
satan-edonkey-server source
node ed2k server github
go ed2k server github
java ed2k server github
emule mod source archive
MorphXT Xtreme ScarAngel StulleMule Mephisto source
VeryCD easyMule source
eMule EastShare Sivka iONiX Phoenix TK4 source
Torznab ed2k eMule
aMule Sonarr Radarr ed2k

After editing, run:

git diff --check
rg -n "ED2K-PROJECT-INVENTORY" EMULE_WORKSPACE_ROOT\repos\emulebb-tooling\docs

Run python -m emule_workspace validate when the workspace lock is free.
