Since you cannot mathematically convert the hash, you must rely on databases that have recorded both hashes for the same file. Here are the primary methods.
The quest for an "Ed2k to Magnet Link converter" is a misunderstanding of how P2P networks operate. Instead of converting, use a compatible client or download the file via ed2k and re-share it as a torrent. The tools exist: for Windows, aMule for Linux/macOS, and MLDonkey for servers.

For archivists and downloaders: always keep both hashes when sharing files across networks – MD4 for eDonkey, SHA-1/SHA-256 for BitTorrent. Never assume one can replace the other without access to the original data.
To generate a valid magnet link, you must already possess the file or find a source that maps the ed2k hash to a torrent info hash.
This article will explain the technical differences, why conversion is often unnecessary, the tools you actually need, and the step-by-step process to access those files in a modern BitTorrent client.
