- The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is iMesh.
iMesh is a file sharing service that uses the FastTrack protocol, founded by Israeli company iMesh.com.
Up to version 5, iMesh connects the FastTrack, Gnutella, and Gnutella2 networks. Due to bugs the connection to the E Donkey network has been removed, in the hacked version of iMesh iMesh Light there are plans to re introduce the E Donkey network into the program
On September 18, 2003, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) sued iMesh for copyright infringement as the 3rd largest file sharing network.
iMesh has also sued a person involved with the website of iMesh Light. They have taken legal actions to make sure this spyware-free clone does not get well-known by the public. However, iMesh has supposedly taken out the spyware addition in the program in favour of pop-up ads, although on its forum, people are complaining about finding traces of spyware, adware etc.
