How does MlDonkey work?

UbahOne

Is this a program just like kazaa? or do you need to have no cap and loads of stuff to share??

Just downloaded it...it wont connect for some reason. Its very strange looking...

What do you base that on?

Carnate

Experience.

that is just FUD Carnate. Pure, ignorant FUD. MLdonkey is open source for christ sake. Instead of claiming it's a trojan try reading the source code, or talking to the large community of developers that work on the damn thing.

Mldonkey does support the kazaa network (fasttrack). It runs as a daemon/service on your machine and you connect to it with a gui, telnet or web browser (my prefered method).

It also supports half a dozen other networks.

The one down side of it, is that as it's a service and supports so many networks it's a lot harder to configure than kazaa which just tends to work straight off.

PS "experience", what a lame answer.

What a min, holdup this lad has "experience"

s8n

so how do you use it then???

quozl

i only have experience using it on linux. But what i did was,

download the pre-compiled binary (I'm lazy)
extract it, and run it

read the doc's to see what firewall ports it needs open (you need to open the ports for whatever protocols you intend to use, I mainly use fasttrack and edonkey)

Then leave it running permenantly.
Whenever I want to set something downloading, I use a web browser from wherever I am to my linux box at home. Do a search, then click on what I want.

There's gui's as well, but they're not that pretty, and I like the fact I can use my web browser from work to start downloads at home.

i like it. .. worked straight out of the box for me on mdk9.1, you're right, the current guis are badly organised and a bit unresponsive, so is the web browser interface tbh
frankly, I don't know enough about daemons, but i understand there could be security problems if you don't know what youy're doing ?
recommended anyway

BadCharlie

Give me a web site where i can dl it from!!!

quozl

type mldonkey into google, and the first 2 results are the mldonkey homepage and development homepage. How lazy are you?

I tried DC++ last year. DC++ works on a hub principle - and I've seen that as soon as someone tried to connect to a hub using MLDonkey - their IP was permanently banned from that hub.
The DC and DC++ communities explanation was that MLDonkey was a very greedy protocol and just took too much without giving
and was monopolising the hubs - hence the bannings.

Jus passing on the info.
