Software : : MLdonkey 2.6.3
Posted By: tokai. on 2005/9/3 10:20:10
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-engineered' using an efficient protocol sniffer, Pandora.

Changes in the MorphOS release package:
  • new build 2.6.3 (please checkout 'Read more')
  • tools (ed2k_hash, get_range, make_torrent, etc.) added again
  • new server.ini
  • up-to-date guardian.p2p
  • "MLdonkey" startscript changed to handle mlnet.pid after system crash and different locations of the settings directory
  • updated documentation (... and please RTFM!)


Important changes in mlnet since last MorphOS release:

Core:
  • create ini file backups on shutdown
  • bunch of new options to handle backup of the config files (with "tar.gz" and "zip" support)
  • Better clear Fifo buffers
  • server support for IPBlock
  • let MLDonkey create its data in $HOME/.mldonkey, but use relative path if downloads.ini is present
  • Kick uploaders which send no data for more than 1 minute
  • Access to disk data (free space, max file name length)
  • support guarding.p2p in zip/gz/bz2 format
  • New option: create_dir_mask, new directories in incoming_directories are created with these rights.
  • More infos for mem_stats
  • Telnet: Show BT hash in "vd num"
  • Clean core startup messages and log output
  • Check accessibility of used directories on core startup
  • Log: Improve output for verbosity "hid"
  • HTML: Search results: new colums for Bitrate, Codec and length
  • HTML: few fixes / new option html_frame_border true|false

BitTorrent:
  • Allow seeding
  • create_torrent: default_tracker and default_comment
  • Fix options parsing
  • Some small fixes for messages interested and cancel
  • Statistics, recognize more clients, min_interval, torrents/old and more...
  • move .torrent to torrents/old if the file is not shared anymore
  • new command rm_old_torrents: delete all files in torrents/old
  • MLdonkey computes a BT-compatible client_uid starting with "-ML"
  • Multitracker support for downloading

eDonkey:
  • compatibleclient 40 -> Shareaza
  • Fix disconnect state with verbosity = "hid"
  • Control identified versions
  • Files copied to incoming dir for sharing do not appear in upstats after hashing
  • Re-enable source exchange with eMule clients
  • Avoid saving sources every save_options_delay
  • new command "reset_stats"
  • don't ask clients for non-downloading files
  • "server met" command now responds with a clearer answer
  • Improve update_server_list
  • Dont remove prefered server if server_users < min_users_on_server
  • send emule_version to servers

Other Networks
  • Fasttrack: Force commit of all complete files
  • Gnutella/G2: Fix commit if no TigerTree is available
  • Gnutella/G2: Update Webcache URLs
  • HTTPClient: Implement retries for failed requests
  • Overnet: Convert local IPs sent by OV clients to real IPs
  • Overnet: Dont put our own ID in the buckets
  • Overnet: Solved a memory leak

    I didn't tested it (don't have classic ppc system), but i see no reason why It shouldn't work on PowerUP MorphOS.

    If you follow all hints in the readme, it probably will just work.

    Let us know when u tested it if it does:) Thx.

    regards,
    tokai

    edit: mld can be quite mem and power hungry though :)

    @tokai:

    there's any chance of getting optional Virtual Mem (swap) on future MorphOS releases? It may be useful in some situations, and being optional people would have to activate it... we could use a partition like linux so no files are created in the harddrive and people who activate it by mistake would still need to create the partition with the swap identifier, so no user would complain of a "slow" system because every user with VMEM would have created the partition of a minimum size.
