Brief Timeline of File Sharing

Timeline created in May of 2009. Nowadays with so many aggregators and file formats, you can find anything anywhere. There are many not listed on here, just like with any list it is impossible to list every version and offshoot.

These are listed by widespread use.

Network Applications such as Napster, Soribada, and Soulseek are distinguished from Protocols such as Gnutella, Edonkey, Fast Track, and Bit Torrent.

The separate sections are the clients listed with their protocol.

Websites are also mentioned in conjunction with their appropriate clients.
