The Lugdunum server is a server that serves to bootstrap EDonkey network (ed2k) clients and find other peers and files. Most of the big ed2k-servers run Lugdunum. This server is far more scalable and efficient than the original MetaMachine eDonkey server.

Although sources of the metamachine's software were given to Lugdunum, he never used them.[citation needed] The Lugdunum server software was created by reverse engineering edonkey protocol and redesigned from scratch.

Lugdunum server software is free as in beer, but not open source. The stated reason for not opening the source is to prevent the easy creation of fake servers.

The real name of Lugdunum is not published.
