Madster was one of the many P2P file sharing services that appeared in Napster's wake. Initially called AIMster, it allowed users to share their files with others, but only with those on their buddy lists. Aimster did not use the AOL/AIM network for any of its traffic, instead using its own servers. The service could import buddy lists from several instant messaging services. The company was eventually forced via court order to stop offering the service.
