I love this app but it crashes constantly for me (after which the deamon continues to download but I can't start any new downloads until I restart the deamon or sometimes the computer). Any news on an update?

it crashes a lot for me too, but the daemon keeps running and relaunching the app means i can continue as normal.

I love mlMac. It works great! Kudos to the developer!

The donkey part doesn't work. I could never get it to work but I'm not bothered; Fasttrack works great and I am happy!

I haven't been able to connect to any FastTrack servers, since yesterday? Anyone else experiencing this?

[EDIT] Nevermind, it just takes a really long time

Here is a preview of mlMac 0.6:



The icons are not yet definitive, but not far..
This is half english/half french, but normal, just half translated ;-)
Hope you'll like it..

Is there a reason downloads sometimes stall, or take forever to start?

Am I the only one who gets horribly slow downloads? I'm talking 2k/sec slow. I tried several different files and the highest speed was 3.3k, then it dropped to 2. I'm on cable, and usually get speeds of 250k/sec.

As many know, Apple doesn't follow their own current UI guidelines regarding the use of brushed metal, but why use it in this application?

I like the new icons, but don't understand why the metal appearance is being used.

Then again, those guidelines may change tomorrow...

What are you talking about ? Downloads from edonkey or fasttrack network ? Fasttrack support is beta, and a lot of downloads just never finish. Edonkey implementation is quite good in mldonkey/mlmac, and it may indeed take forever, it just depends on sources, how much you ul, your rank, direction of the wind... The donkey network is well-named, not always fast, but reliable.

To see if there is any problem, check the web interface (http://127.0.0.1:4080), in the connected servers, if your ID is high. You can also test it here. If the test fail, check your port/firewall/router config.

A great test is also to try to dl a very popular file (have I said "porn" ? ), you can check if your config is ok.

I have found the fasttrack network to be just as reliable as the Donkey network. I've been getting 700mb files at 2k/sec. They take a week at being connected 24/7 but they do finish if you give them the time.

The link for 0.6 does not work.

Does anyone have an alternate URL?

nice work. hasn't crashed yet (first 10 minutes). anyway, how about an option to sort by total file size and by percent completed? did I miss these?

oh yeah, and can you display the time remaining on each download?

and be aware that I only nitpick because I care :)
