Notes about the ED2K file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The ED2K file type is primarily associated with 'eDonkey' by MetaMachine. eDonkey is an application that allows you to share and download files with other people across the globe. This filetype is hosted by webmasters so that users of eDonkey can automatically download files from their website through the filesharing client thereby reducing the load on their webserver. eDonkey comes with an IE plugin that checks for .ED2K files. Note: MetaMachine was sued by the RIAA for copyright and settled the suit in Sept 2006. The software is no longer available for download and it's further use is discouraged.
