With more than one million users, the largest waiter eDonkey/eMule of the world, Razorback, east was gone this morning in the hands of the Belgian federal police force. Two of its administrators remain injoignables per hour when we write these lines.

We have only very few information. The whole of the waiters of Razorback were seized this morning towards 10H by the Belgian federal police force. Although Razorback association domiciled in Switzerland, it is in Belgium that the system main part was installed. Razorback did not lodge any illegal contents and even took part very actively in the diffusion of legal contents such as those of our chain of remote loading of software or the free musics of Jamendo.

The waiter used for follower and eDonkey was nevertheless an index of million files exchanged on the networks peer-to-peer, including one great part were illicit. The principal administrator of Razorback had indicated in the past that it was ready with blacklister the files brought back to him by the holders of royalties, but it never had any answer. Finally the whole of the material was seized this morning, indicates a source close to Razorback to us, while two administrators of the waiter remain injoignables at this beginning of afternoon.

Razorback tried to reconcile legality and P2P while taking part in many legal projects, by providing the stastic invaluable ones for the cabinets of marketing, and by diffusing paying files protected by DRM, for the account of content providers.

But especially, the disappearance of Razorback will not change absolutely anything for the million users follower, who profit already since from very many months of a network entirely decentralized baptized "Kad".

We will inform you as soon as we will have more information.

Razorback: no fears for the users
With a million users and tens of million exchanged files, Razorback could not technically have held a log of connections with the unit of IP addresses of the users. All the data necessary to the correct operation of Razorback were stored in read-write memory, and were thus lost during the seizure. It is what a source close to Razorback ensures us.

In addition one of the administrators of the French-speaking waiter eDonkey could be contacted in the course of the day. One only of both east seems it kept at sight.

Direct result of this seizure, the invaluable assistance that brought Razorback to the legal diffusion of files on Jamendo, on Ratiatum, but also the assistance brought to the human research project of the genome Folding@home, are finished today.

With regard to the remote loadings of freewares and sharewares on Ratiatum, we will be extremely grateful near our readers who will agree to ensure the changing by dividing their band-width with us. It is enough to have a customer eDonkey or emulates and to return to you on this page to download and put in division automatically all the updates of the week in progress.

We hope the return of Razorback sincerely, because it was of all the waiters that which preached more the use of the P2P at legal purposes, and concretely helped us in this way.

There is some very weird shit going on here:

First, I did not author the first post. It was generated by netzwelt and was originally posted in the proper "P2P News" forum. It contained only the following:

I wrote the second post in the thread, now vanished, as a reply.

The second part of the above first post, containing the badly translated quotes and the ratiatum link at the bottom, was authored by a different person (not me either) in a separate post in a different forum and merged in.

I don't know what the moderator's motive was for merging two posts into one and then putting the wrong person as the author, but it wasn't my idea!
 
no way. that always used to be the server with the most users and files. and it used to be very rare to be able to join it, it was always jam packed with users. but yeah it isnt over yet we still have Donkey Servers and Big Bang and a few other big powerful servers. oh yeah there's also sonny boy, i think thats what its called. anyway they havent caused too much damage yet. and as long as they keep working on kad and keep improving it we woudnt need edonkey servers. there's just one problem with Kad which is that it uses too much memory and cpu, waaayy too much. i hope they could do something to fix that.

The KAD network needs no servers. razorback down, but other servers have taken the load.. 15 million+ users connected to various servers at the moment.. look at the positive side.. let the software companies charge realistically and everyone will purchase legal stuff..
 
Too bad, Razorback were good server, but others soon will take over i guess
 
Bad news for the community ... if they have to permanently stop their activities this could be a precedent for taking down the others. Let's hope this will not be the case and we can still set our hopes on the Kad-network.

Cheers.
 
so which is the best server you guys recommend now?

can anyone recommend a good site for safe & reliable server list?
