OpenNap
open-in-new
<p>OpenNap was an <a href="/facts/Open-source_software/HzTaB8E9">open-source</a> <a href="/facts/Napster/49fjWRT7">Napster</a> server, extending the Napster protocol to allow sharing of any media type, and adding the ability to link servers together. It became popular after the original Napster network was shut down in 2001, but was subject to similar pressures and its use soon declined. As of 2024, the <a href="/facts/WinMX/zNLWjTtw">WinMX</a> client is the only one still in use. </p>
