List servers did not store file contents; they stored metadata (file hashes, sizes, names) and a list of clients offering each file.
Lugdunum servers could handle over 100,000 concurrent connections on standard hardware. This allowed "Big Servers" (like DonkeyServer No1 , No2 , etc.) to dominate the server lists. During this era, a server.met file typically contained roughly 20–50 reliable servers, with the top 5 holding the majority of the network's index.
