    Hello.
    Before reading Jupp3's post about MLDonkey in the"torrent for MOS" thread, i had the same problems that he describes:
    Quote:

    Well, the newest version seemed to get "stuck" for me (No signs of life from f.ex. telnet interface) but can be quit with ctrl-c. The problem is you don't know when it will get stuck, and when it does, it obviously doesn't do anything. I downgraded to older version. Some people say that changing task priority to higher might help.

    Now, i have raised the task priority to 2 and for the first time ever, i managed to download an mp3 file!! :-)
    It still freezes relatively often, though (d*mn!) :-x but less often than before. When it does, the browser doesn't react in any of the MLD GUI's options. It just idles.

    The reason that i opened this thread is that i can't connect to the gnutella and gnutella2 networks, although i have set the enable_gnutella and enable_gnutella2 variables to TRUE.
    I haven't touch the setings in the gnutella.ini and gnutella2.ini files as i don't really understand them and thus i don't feel confident to change them.
    The "connected servers" option reports:

    The "cient stats" option reports:

    FastTrack doesn't work either as you probably know, but never mind about that as it is covered by AmiGift. (From what i read in the .guide, i haven't try it yet)
    I have a simple dial-up connection without any firewalls. If someone has a suggestion about what settings i should change in the downloads.ini and gnutella[2].ini files to make these networks operational, pleast post it.

    Advices on how to optimise MLD for a dialup connection and a 603 CPU (MLD seems to hog all of my CPU after a while) are also very welcome. Thank you.

    About the MLD hangs, btw: After doing some tests, i _think_ that i found what causing them. It`s the overnet network but i`m not exactly sure yet. I need to do some more tests on this.
    Also, this network is causing extreme network activity. My modem works constantly like crazy when i have it activated, even when everything is on idle and i`m not downloading anything. I wonder if this is related with the hangs..
