what kazaa client do you use for x11? hard/easy to set up?

[raff67]

just like to say that you can still set your bandwidth,servers etc by using the web interface http://127.0.0.1:4080/

[willed]

It's "temporarily unavailable" at the moment.
???

[Silky Voice of The Gorn]

I tried this client and threw it away after 2 minutes. It works, yes, but is utterly worthless, has almost no functions. It has no benefit over the Web UI or even the realbasic client.

[Powaqqatsi]

The X11 GUI for MLdonkey is still the best. It's fast and it always works.

Good point.

This client solves the problem people have of just getting the mlnet started. It's a great "donkey for dummies" app. It does, however, need some work.

The link doesn't work.

I updated the link as they changed their web dirs around. I guess they didn't care for me "deeplinking" their UI screenie. Sorry mlMac peeps.

In other news, I've been able to get d/ls going pretty well. I've had a crashy problem now though. Hrmmm...

[jul]

Hi all, I'm the developer of mlMac. I'm looking for people who are experiencing crashes with mlMac, so as to correct those bugs. I already have a 0.5 beta which may correct them, so I need testers please.

Thanks.

[Sarc]

please add a way to search for other media than music ...

[jul]

you can search for everything, there's no limitation on music..

I can second that. I've found all kinds of stuff. Actually, more than when I configured mlnet myself.

I'll give the 0.5 beta a shot if you want. I sent an email earlier.

Its not difficult at all just follow these steps.
Download Apples x11 beta 3, SDK, gtk1.2.10
Install x11 first then SDK then gtk1.2.10

Apples x11 SDK gtk

Now go to your Applications folder, and X11 should be there.
Double-click. A xterm window will open. Now go in the Applications menu and click customize...
-> Click Add Item : In the first square give the name "Mldonkey" or whatever the name you want to give to the command.
In the second square you will type a command that will open the gui, on the formula :

cd /Applications/MLdonkey/ ; ./mlgui
this command starts the core
cd /Applications/MLdonkey/ ; ./mlnet

( don't forget space between cd and /path )
To have directly the path to your mldonkey folder, what you can do is opening a Terminal ( not X11's ) window then drop your mldonkey folder. Copy the path that appears in it ( something like : /Applications/mldonkey_folder or /volumes/my_second_hd/mldonkey_folder )
Then go back in the X11 application menu, type the command in the second square and paste the copied path instead of
/path_to_mldonkey_folder . Validate.

6. What port(s) of my firewall shall i open to use mldonkey correctly?

Open :
4662 TCP
4666 UDP
And for Overnet the port specified in the web interface preferences ( it is randomly chosen in "overnet_port " ) in UDP and TCP
If you use also other plugins ( see down ), you'll have to open also their ports : Gnutella 6346, BitTorrent 6882, Fasttrack/Kazaa 1214

>>>>To open UDP ports you need Brickhouse for example ( http://brianhill.dyndns.org/BetaStuff/ ) : Jaguar built in firewall panel can't open those<<<<

Well I have to say that I'm surprised that there wasn't a better reception for this app. With all the people wanting simple MLdonkey, and Kazaa for Mac, you think this would be just the thing people would be looking for. Yes it does still need some work, but it's still very much a beta, with better things on the way.

Another little tip (I have cable access so dsl users I wouldn't consider this) I found is that if you set you download bandwidth to 0 instead of the default 50 your downloads scream. I'm still able to browse the web and download files with out problem. In the web interface click on options then clients look for max_hard_download_rate. You can always change it back later.

0 as a bandwidth rate means "no limit" in mldonkey/mlnet. So, no problem for the download rate, but you'll experience problems with such a setting for ul


For the app, quite nice. I've not used it a long time, but it's quite promising

[Ratm]

I knew that... I wasn't think of anyone but my self...greedy me but from what I can see they are doing ok. I promise to give them my all my bandwidth next time cause I really want this...uh..this documentary

Looking at the source of a file that I'm downloading 700mb I'm connected to 68 users out of a possible 369. Tally of severs 7219 and I'm connected to 15 and a typical return on a search is 1168 depending on the item you're looking for and I'm doing all this on my little iBook .


/*me happy that Apple released x11
