Lphant was a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS operating systems,[1] which supports the eDonkey Network and the BitTorrent protocol.

Lphant is a multi-network client, capable of searching for files by connecting to ed2k servers or through the emule source exchange and the kad network.

Lphant supports various experimental ed2k features such as Protocol obfuscation, endgame althorithm and webcache, some of which are only found in eMule mods.

Instead of advertisements, current versions of the original application may display a message suggesting to users they should upgrade Lphant by installing an executable package named LphantV6.exe.

[6][7] Users of the original Lphant application can prevent the display of such messages by blocking the ad.adliveserver.com domain using a hosts file or a firewall.
