How to Tame That Ass

So you've decided to join the ranks of thousands of other eDonkey users, congrats. Or if you're just having trouble getting the damn thing to download anything then this article is also for you. With my config file and simple instructions you should be well on your way to sucking down oodles of warez.(Who are we kidding, not like eDonkey is used for anything else.) First, you should start off with a fresh install of the mldonkey client. The current version as of this writing is 2.02 and that's the only version I guarantee these settings work with. If you already have downloads going then hold onto your temp folder and files.ini file. Once you've done that you can download my config file, with accompanying Read Me, here. I recommend using either TextEdit or BBEdit to edit the enclosed file. The instructions in the Read Me are quite clear so I don't need to repeat them here. One thing you must know is that for mldonkey to work at all in this configuration you must have ports 3939 and 12814 open. I switched the standard eDonkey port from the usual 4661 and 4662 incase your ISP has blocked off those ports in order to curb the use of eDonkey. Port 12814 is required because DirrectConnect is activated in my config.(It helps greatly with finding the files you want to download.) With everything in place and edited as instructed just turn mldonkey on. I do caution that it might take a while for these changes to take effect and propagate throughout the network. Normally my client starts downloading at least one file instantly, connects to 4-5 servers on average and normally reaches decent download speeds. I hope you get the same results as myself. Until next post...
