Napster is a program for sharing MP3’s. A central Napster server has a list of each client’s MP3s. You can search this database to find the closest Napster client with the MP3 you want. You receive the MP3 directly from the client with the MP3 – it does not come from the Napster server. Jungle Monkey works with any file. When you download the file, you will download it from the closest host with the file, which is not necessarily the host which originially had the file. JM search is distributed, there is no central database. Jungle Monkey is open source, Napster is not (though there are open source clones).
