File Link Format
File links are preceded with the "file" token, which indicates that this is a file link, as opposed to a server, serverlist, nodelist or firend link. The typical eD2k file link also includes the filename and the filesize. An example (a link to the 15Mb Purist Edit trailer) is provided below:
eD2k links can also include a reference to the IP address and port of specific clients that are known to share the linked-to file. This is done by adding a list of sources after the main part of the link, like shown in the following example:
ed2k://|file|The_Two_Towers-The_Purist_Edit-Trailer.avi|14997504|965c013e991ee246d63d45ea71954c4d|/|sources,202.89.123.6:4662|/On eMule, the link often contains also an AICH top hash |h=H52BRVWPBBTAED5NXQDH2RJDDAKRUWST| to help recover the file in case of corruption during file transfer.

Famous quotes containing the words file and/or link:
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Elephants walking
Along the trails
Are holding hands
By holding tails.”
—Lenore M. Link (fl. 1937)
