an easy and consistent way of installing software ported to FreeBSD
MLDonkey is an OCAML/GTK client for a number of
peer-to-peer networks.
It is separated into a core with telnet and web
interfaces, and a GTK GUI.
The following protocols are supported:
- eDonkey (http://www.edonkey2000.com/)
- Overnet (http://www.overnet.com/)
- Bittorrent (http://www.bittorrent.com/)
- Gnutella (http://www.gnutella.org/)
- Gnutella2 (http://www.shareaza.com/)
- Fasttrack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasttrack)
- FileTP [http/ftp/ssh] (http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/FileTP)
- Kademlia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kad_Network)
WWW: http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/
ATTENTIONATTENTION:
- If you want to know how to use mldonkey, read "INSTALL" or
"FAQ.html" in the port docs (%%DOCSDIR%%)
- It is not a bad idea to install mplayer. You will be able
to preview half-downloaded files (if you have the beginning).
- You can import the downloads you started with eDonkey
(try "import /home/directory/path/.edonkey2000-core"
on the console), but you can NOT go back!
- If this is the first time you install mldonkey,
please go to the mldonkey-gui ports dir as a user and enter:
make install-user
this will set up your user config.
- You have to enable the different protocols on the client
console. Go to the (mldonkey-) console, and try the commands
'set enable_
