eD2K Project Inventory

Last verified: 2026-06-07

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.

The 2026-06-07 refresh checked the canonical workspace repos and workspaces directories, the generated workspace manifests, local analysis archives, current public GitHub metadata, eMule-Security live server-list metadata, and current public forum/site leads for the projects changed below.

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.

Status Markers

Marker Meaning
🟢 Active, maintained, or visibly current.
🟡 Needs verification before use as evidence or dependency.
🟣 Archive/reference material.
⚫ Historical or stale lead.

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.

  • JEmuleServer
  • Status: Active, experimental
  • Language: Java
  • Source or archive: https://github.com/dagga/JEmuleServer
  • Repo stats (GitHub, 2026-05-29):
    • dagga/JEmuleServer: 2 stars, 0 forks, 0 open issues; default main; default-branch commit 2026-05-29 8092fd2.

  • Notes: Modern open-source eMule/eD2K server project. The README describes a Java 21 server with protocol obfuscation, compression, advanced search, large-file support, Lugdunum extensions, embedded H2 storage, LowID callbacks, fake-file filtering, admin CLI, and IPv6 support. Treat as a fresh research lead until protocol coverage and license fit are reviewed in code.

  • goed2k-server

  • Status: Active
  • Language: Go
  • Source or archive: https://github.com/chenjia404/goed2k-server
  • Repo stats (GitHub, 2026-05-29):

  • 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.

  • ed2k-rust test server

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.
