    copy/paste the .torrent url into the mldonkey command bar..
    (the input string on the top of the screen)

    and then type: dllink before it:
    e.g: dllink bla.bla.torrent

    if succesfull, mldonkey will then inform you it started downloading the file

    or...
    use enqueuetorrent from tokai

    Hi bas,

    I'll try latest version of mlDonkey (again).
    In the past I didn't have much luck using mlDonkey for torrents.
    Never could download with it.

    Bye,

    Spidey

    I read something about mldonkey needing gg:
    So I tried it myself.

    I commented out all the gg: assigns and rebooted
    Next I started mldonkey and everything seemed okay.
    But when I wanted to download a bittorrent it didn't do it
    mldonkey says "done" but it didn't start

    then I put back the gg: assigns and rebooted
    and then mldonkey did download bittorrents

    So aparentely you need the devenv to be able to use mldonkey for bittorrent

    however, there is a program on aminet
    which should be able to download torrents aswell (haven't tried it though)
