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!)
