Is there an eDonkey client for OS3.x?

@Kenny:

You can run your Pegasos as a DMZ host - most routers
 allow this. That way you don't need to redirect any ports.
It will expose your Peg to all the internet can throw at it,
but MorphOS is immune to all the hacks and exploits anyway.

How easy is this to set up?

By the way, as an alternative to donkey I recommend
bittorrent.

Where can I find that?

Cheers,

On my router, setting up DMZ on a computer is as simple as putting its LAN IP address into a box in the config and saving. From then on, everything on the internet will see this machine and not the router. The only problem of course is if your router doesn't have this feature...

As for bittorrent, it's built into mldonkey. Just type "voo" into the webpage or telnet configuration of mldonkey, and bring up the config. Enable bittorrent there by setting it to TRUE, if not already.

All you need then is to get torrents. Once you find one (google "torrent", you won't need to search much), download it somewhere, go back to where the webpage or telnet, and type "dllink ". i.e. "dllink DH6:foo.torrent". It should now be listed in your downloads and mldonkey will start to download it.

One more thing. If you're only allowed to redirect one port, redirect 6882 and use the bittorrent support. The Donkey network needs two ports opened.

OK. I'll come back to this another time, as it's getting on a bit. :-)

I'm using Ibrowse (Voyager doesn't seem to show the webpage correctly) and it is show as 'True'.

Once you find one (google "torrent", you won't need to search much), download it somewhere, go back to where the webpage or telnet, and type "dllink ".
i.e. "dllink DH6:foo.torrent". It should now be listed in your downloads and mldonkey will start to download it.

OK. I found a beavis & butthead file (I know but it was the first thing under 50MB I found).
I downloaded it to RAM, went back into the webpage and typed:
dllink ram:beavis and butthead-1-900-beavis..torrent
When I click execute it says done but going back into the downloads section, it isn't listed.

One more thing. If you're only allowed to redirect one port, redirect 6882 and use the bittorrent support. The Donkey network needs two ports opened.

I just realised that it's probably because I haven't done this part yet that nothing is showing up in the downloads section?
-EDIT-
I'd typed the filename wrong; it is showing up on the downloads list but doesn't seem to be downloading.

Thanks,
