mldonkey [multi-networks file-sharing client]

[TheHawks]

MLdonkey is a multi-platform multi-networks peer-to-peer client. Originally, it was the first open-source client to access the eDonkey network . The protocol was reverse-engeneered using an efficient protocol sniffer, Pandora .

Currently, with eDonkey , it supports several large networks, such as Overnet , Bittorrent , Gnutella (Bearshare, Limewire,etc), Gnutella2 (Shareaza), Fasttrack (Kazaa, Imesh, Grobster), Soulseek (beta), Direct-Connect (alpha), and Opennap (alpha). Networks can be enabled/disabled, searches are performed in parallel on all enabled networks, but each file is only downloaded from one network (wait for next release !), but from multiple clients concurrently.

MLdonkey runs as a daemon on the computer. It can be controlled using several interfaces: the simplest one is telnet (telnet 127.0.0.1 4000), a more interesting one is a WEB server (http://127.0.0.1:4080/), and a binary protocol allows access using more elaborate Graphical Interfaces (see the GUIs available on your system at the bottom of the page). MLdonkey comes by default with a GTK interface. All these interfaces can be used locally, or remotely (after disabling security restrictions).

MLdonkey is written in Objective-Caml , a powerful language that runs on most Operating Systems.

JUST LOOKS TO GOOD

Hmm, who,s behind the project then Hawks ?
This sounds a bit like KC Easy, trying to cover too many clients with one interface.
The Trillian of P2P

i've heard quite a bit about it - but nothing that made it look good enough to try

i like the idea, but i havent seen anything good about it so far... perhaps i should try it and be the first to say something good about it? obviously i'll have to make sure not to run it on any windows systems as its connected to fasttrak

Not Sure who's behind the project
MLdonkey application does not contain user interface.it's just a P2P engine built for exchanging files.

MLDonkey-Cores

MLdonkey Is Good But For The average user will be kinda hard To Install unlike KC Easy.MLdonkey Runs on a Core That is controlled using interfaces.
1.Graphical User Interfaces (recommended)
2.Web Interface
3.Telnet Interface - simplest
4.Simple Wap Interface (You could use the Wap Interface to access MLDonkey with your cellphone. Your cellphone must support WAP/GRPS.)

MLdonkey connects to many networks using plugins some are still being tested

WANT TO USE MLdonkey Dont Know How read Reference Manual

Networks can be enabled/disabled (dont have to use fastTrack)

I have tried MLdonkey And I think It is a good Idea but will be better In the long Run when there Is more Development

I,m sure it will focus down a little more into a seamless utility , folks dont like learning new things and using 2 or 3 programs just to get files is not good practice,
the simple interfaces win hands down , even if they are not as fully featured .

Hmm, a small snippet of information can be found in this thread that may help a user of this program.
