Auiogalaxy, formerly located at http://www.audiogalaxy.com/, was a file sharing system that indexed MP3 files. Originally created by Michael Merhej as an FTP site index called The Borg Search, Audiogalaxy evolved into a robust peer-to-peer system with client software (the Audiogalaxy "Satellite"), a web-based search engine, always-on searching for requested files, auto-resume and low system impact. It quickly gained ground among file sharers abandoning Napster in 2001. Some observing the previous downfall of Napster via lawsuit were shocked at the design of Audiogalaxy, which was in some ways more centralized than Napster.
