To download a torrent with MLDonkey:
1) Launch MLDonkey
2) Open web browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:4080
3) Open a new tab and find your torrent.
4) Save the torrent to: {mldonkey folder}/torrents/incoming
5) Refresh MLDonkey tab in browser and click on transfers.

If you do not see torrent listed then you should give it a few minutes, if you still don't see it then contrl-c mldonkey window and wait for a proper shutdown (a forced shutdown will cause you to have to reinstall it) and then relaunch it.

Do you have the the 3.1.0 patch applied to the original 3.0.0 folder? you need that.
I am downloading torrents at unbelievable rates and have no issues doing it just like I do in windows. You can check the settings and make sure the max upload/download settings are set to infinite rather than 10k or 50k.
