MLDonkey is another client that supports a few Peer-to-Peer protocols (bittorrent, edonkey, …). Best of all, this bittorrent client has got a web interface for you to administrate the bittorrent client without the need to telnet in! So it makes torrenting easier. Wish that it was a desktop application instead? Use sancho to remotely administrate your bittorrent or edonkey download.
The file above is MLDonkey compiled for use on my DNS-323. I don’t provide support for the compiled application. I compiled it for my own use and feel that others might find it useful, hence I am sharing it here. I do welcome pointers on the shell script (mlnet.sh).
The script (mlnet.sh) included will attempt to do a symbolic link of the actual working directory (/.mldonkey) to the harddisk (/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey) in DNS-323. Please refer to the support pages of MLDonkey for stuffs pertaining to it (e.g. configurations, usage). The quick start guide on their homepage is a nice start.
I have only enabled edonkey, bittorrent, http and ftp download features in this binary so don’t bother trying out other supported protocols. The libraries required ate static linked (during compilation) hence it wont require additional configuration on the DNS-323. Maybe this is the factor that has contributed to the large binary size.
If you do encounter “segmentation fault” after a few runs (which I hope you don’t). Back up your configurations (*.ini), downloads and file you think you would need before running the following commands (without mlnet running).
/ # rm -rf /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey
/ # rm -rf /.mldonkey
Pre-requisites
You should be using the telnet daemon from the another telnet daemon post
Installation Instructions
Download and extract the contents of the archive to /mnt/HD_a2/. The location of the extracted files should look like the following
/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
/mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
The next step would be giving the files permission to execute
/ # chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
/ # chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
The last step would be running the application by typing the following commands
/ # mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey
/ # mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/logs
/ # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
In the future after a reboot of the NAS, you might wish to start MLDonkey again by issuing the following command
/ # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
Your mlnet should be running in the background by now. You can do a simple check by using the ps command.
Next we shall do the initial setup of mldonkey by doing telneting to the administration port.
/ # telnet 127.0.0.1 4000
Trying 127.0.0.1…
Connected to 127.0.0.1.

MLDonkey 2.8.7 for DNS-323
MLDonkey for DNS-323: 2.8.7 Decided to compile MLDonkey 2.8.7 for DNS-323. Try it and see if it is working well for you. Setup instructions are pretty much the same as this…
The downloadlink to version 2.8.7 seems to be broken. I get only a very small file that can’t be opened with Winzip…
regards….keule
no prob with my com
try downloading using another browser or clear ur cache first before redownloading again
i have a problem. when i enable the MLdonkey on my dns323 i can no longer access the network share ex: \\ip\volume_1. When i kill MLdonky evrything works. any hint?
Regal: What other stuffs are you running on the DNS-323 besides telnet and mldonkey?
Iam only using MLdonkey with funplug 0.2 I have follow the guide at this page. MLDonkey works but it is very slow to download torrents get like 18KB/s with MLDonkey, when i use uTorrent om my PCa get 1.7MB/s
Regal: type the following “ps | wc -l” and show me the number you see. I am running 42 processes. How about you?
Regarding the slow download, did you play with the settings of MLDonkey? You need to set a port and port forward it on your router (if you got one).
I have 46 processes running. If you want i can send you the hole list.
Yes i have i FW and i have open a port for MLD.
I have take care of the speed problem. I had not look close enough at the settings.
Regal: Please do send me the output of “ps” and the file /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/mlnet.log
When i run the script my DNS323 reports that I don’t have the command ‘nohup’.
Also I cannot telnet to my local box to set up the admin because i do not have a telnet command.
I do have the telnet daemon setup to access the box.
MLNet app does start ok from the command prompt.
budda: use another telnet daemon. It comes with nohup and telnet and other stuffs. Courtesy of fonz.
Im a noob and am having trouble doing this command as per your instructions.
/ # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
it prompts me with a
chmod: /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory
/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh cannot create /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/logs/mlnet: No such file or directory
The files are there though.
Hai Doan: do a mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/logs
Thanks for your help! I am also running into another issue.
Telnetting works only if I have 1 hard drive installed. If I install two it wont start the telnet app. I do have it installed into the first volume also.
But not only that, It does not list my 2nd hard drive when I am browsing for it through windows.
Thanks a lot for this program by the way. I’m using it right now and it works great.
Hai Doan: I’ve only got single harddisk and hence unable to help you on the issue. But do take a look at this wiki for help on that issue.
Thanks for the link. I decided to stick the funplug.tar on both drives and found out it only extracted on the 2nd volume and loaded from there.
Hey man,
Just wanted to tell you that this is pretty badass… I’m loving the torrenting capabilities while not having my machines up and running during hot weather (west coat of the US). I am going to experiment and see if the DNS survives 3 weeks of continuous downloading while I am away on vacation
Fanel: I hope that your DNS-323 is behind a uninterrupted power supply. Let see if your DNS-323 can survive three weeks.
Good luck!
It’s behind a UPS and a surge protector
. I am having an interesting thing happening here – refer to the following screenie (i combined two together):
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5474/oddnessud4.jpg
Essentially if you look at the top bar with the download stats – it shows I’ve downloaded over 10 gigs by torrenting a single torrent file. If you look at the torrent information itself – it shows I only got 70.4%, or 2.3 gigs out of the 3.27. The thing is it was at 70% about 4 hours before I posted this… what gives? Bad torrent that is loosing hashes? The client maybe freaking out? Any suggestions?
Ahhh I found out whats wrong – the availability was stuck at that percentage… lol nvm ^_^
Heh – sorry to bug you but I have seem to find yet another odd thing:
When I torrent with MLDONKEY, after the torrent done downloading, it keeps seeding I can’t find any way of stopping it and taking it out of the queue unless I delete it from the incoming folder… also – why is every single file I download has a “read-only” mod attached to it with out any ability to change it unless I either chmod it through telnet or rm -rf it?
Fanel: Under the options there is a settings where by you can make mldonkey run a command when torrent finishes, you can use that to shift it out of the incoming folder. Similarly you can set the required permission settings (for directories and files) in the options. Hope it helps
What is wrong here ???

Do you have the problem of torrent stuck at 98% for MLDonkey on DNS-323? Or you are facing a problem that is more head banging, instead of the torrent stuck at 98% you have the torrent stuck at 99% for…
Has anyone successfully implemented the “file_completed_cmd” script execution on mlnet running on the DNS323? (whatever I try, scripts or even simple echo/touch, I get “Exception execve failed on …”)
cab007: yeap, I’m using file_completed_cmd to shift completed torrents out.
Can you post your “file_completed_cmd” value and also possibly share your script? I would also like to move files from the incoming directory elsewhere.
Thanks a much!!!

Hi all,
mein english is very bad. I install MLdonky on my new CE3SNAS (Conceptronic) with fw 1.02beta. I use “another telnet damoen” and edit with vi 3 lines in the fun_plug. When i started on the command line “/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh” the came the same as by “budda” >>nohup: appending to nohup.out.
My soul ist broken down. Can you help me, thanks.
Best regards form

Hi Jimi Bondi,
Your english is pretty ok. Try typing the following command.
mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/logs
how do you add a user without admin rights?
Hi, i’m running your pre compiled version of MLDonkey 2.9.0 (bittorrent,filetp,gdlib) which runs smooth on the DNS323 (1.03/RAID0). Are you planning to try compiling other plugins such as DirectConnect? URL: http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/MLdonkeyPlugin
rico, thanks for trying out the MLDonkey 2.9.0 and letting me know that it is running smoothly on your DNS323 (1.03/Raid0). Unfortunately I won’t be compiling MLDonkey with other plugins (e.g. DirectConnect) unless there is a demand or I’ve the time to do it.
Do check here often as I might compile when I finish up my stuffs.
i understand you don’t want to spend time compiling if there is no demand. right now i dont have time but will try it soon. i’m sure the instructions on the dns323 wiki pages are sufficient to start compiling.
FYI: i started using mldonkey 2.9.0 and dont know the previous versions. no additional mods have been done because it works very smoothly. all torrents finish, samba never disconnect. largest torrent size: over 7GB, fastest dl rate: 400KB/s, number of torrents simultaneously: about 10
rico, infact I could try compiling one with DirectConnect but I won’t be able to test if it works or support it as I am unfamiliar with the protocol. Let me try compiling it when I am done with my assignments.
Glad to know that MLDonkey is working great for you. The community have helped a lot to make MLDonkey on DNS-323 smooth and stable.
Hi. I have a quick question. I recently bought the 323 and installed MLDonkey 2.9.0 right away.
I am getting slow connections and even not connections at all with Bittorrent. I have like 15 files pending (All of them are series seasons with nice amount of seeds (Even the mldokney shows like 800 sources for the one that has less sources) and even after running for a day it cant connect.
It only downloaded 80MB of 120GB that is in queue.
Anything that could be wrong or maybe I have to add some bittorrent servers/trackers? Edonkey networks seems to work quite fine.
Thanks!!!
Hi, i’m now running your pre compiled version (MLDonkey 2.9.0 bittorrent) which runs well on my Conceptronic CH3SNAS RAID1 (same hardware as the DNS 323, just cheaper….).
No problems installing, thanks for this!
Sebass, some trackers actually bans MLDonkey client.
. Do check if the trackers you are connecting to have policies on bittorrent client usage. You can also check if your router is blocking the connections.
Highandstoned, glad to know that MLDonkey is running for your CH3SNAS! Maybe I should get my hands on that! I need another NAS!
MLDonkey 2.9.0

MLDonkey 2.9.1
The folks over at mldonkey have released MLDonkey 2.9.1. Compiled 2.9.1 for DNS-323 in the following two flavors – one with bittorrent and edonkey, one without edonkey. Download the new MLDonkey 2.9.1 for DNS-323 Like what I have mentioned for…
Shadowandy,
Truely some awsome info here–thanks for the guidance!
Was wondering if there is any chance we could get 2.9.1 complied with all p2p networks (eDonkey2000, Overnet, Kad, Gnutella, Gnutella2, BitTorrent, etc…) for use on the DNS-323? That way we could turn ‘um on/off via the .ini to play ’round w/ the various networks. I’d greatly appreciate your help!
Hi ad, I do release binary with edonkey support. As for Overnet and Kad, it seems like mldonkey have dropped it off. I do have a copy of binary which has edonkey, Gnutella, Gnutella2, BitTorrent, DirectConnect, … I won’t be able to test it as I am unfamiliar with other file sharing protocols other than edonkey and bittorrent.
okay, thanks neways. ill keep looking…
MLDonkey 2.9.1 with most plugins
There has been several request for MLDonkey with other network plugins. I had a little free time between rushing my reports so tried my hands at compiling them. The stuffs that are supported in this release are – Direct Connect,…
ad, I have release a binary which you might be interested. Do test it out.
MLDonkey 2.9.2
The folks over at mldonkey have release MLDonkey 2.9.2. Didn’t realize that there is a new release until this morning. I have compiled this version in 3 flavors – lite, normal, everything. The file size of each binary is different…
MLDonkey 2.9.2 Real Simple
Everybody was once a newbie in Linux command. I been through the terrors of following long set of commands, following guides just to get a simple thing up. How I wish there was one person/guru to help me then. I…
Hi Andy in the shadows, thanks for MLDonkey 2.9.2(edonkey,bittorrent,filetp,directconnect,gnutella,g2,fasttrack,gdlib), I installed it thanks to your instructions. For directconnect, I frwd the TCP port but can’t connect to any servers. On other directconnect clients, you enter the serverlist in the prefs and then can visualize servers and connect to them according to their minimal share rates and other criterias. anyone have it working fully on MLDonkey?
Rico, welcome. I wouldn’t be able to help you on protocols other than donkey and bittorrent as I don’t really know how to operate other plugins. Perhaps somebody can shed some light on this issue of directconnect?
Cheers ShadowAndy. With a bit of tinkering I’ve been pulling torrents via the box now for a few days. Tis class. Brings back some Linux memories too.
Greg, have fun with mldonkey.
You should have used the realsimple edition. Setting up DNS-323 for torrenting would be much simpler.
Do you compile this version “2.9.2 (edonkey,bittorrent,filetp,directconnect,gnutella,g2,fasttrack,gdlib):” to *.exe file for Windows and send me on my e-mail?
Johnny,
Surf on to MLDonkey’s website and download the binaries they’ve compiled for win32 systems.
The newest version hasn’t got Gnutella and G2. I need this networks. It’s possible to run this files on PC? What command must I use?
Hi, i’m a newbe in linux. I just bought the ch3snas and tried to install mldonkey following the steps on this site.
when i execute the script mlnet.sh,i get an error at the “nohup” command. It seems that this command does not exist.
anybody know what to do?
picmaster,
Probably you missed out that it requires Another Telnet Daemon. Try using fonz’s fun_plug and it would provide you with nohup.
Thanx shadowandy !
Now i have “BusyBox v1.6.1 (2007-07-22 13:51:10 CEST) Built-in shell” , when starting the telnet session with CH3SNAS!
But when executing mlnet.sh i get : “nohup: appending to nohup.out” , when i then check with ps i dont see the mldonkey service running.
When i execute “telnet 127.0.0.1 4000″ i get this respons :
“telnet: cannot connect to remote host (127.0.0.1): Connection refused”
Any idee whats going wrong?
picmaster
probably you have a case of segmentation fault. Follow the instructions above to solve it.
Hi Shadowandy , thanx again. I removed everything and tried again.
these are the exact steps am i doing :
a) i use the two files in the 2.9.0 (bittorrent,filetp,gdlib) dowload
b) And copy those files within xp , mlnet.sh in “Volume1″ and mlnet in “Volume1\lnx_bin”.
c) i login with telnet troug putty and check the files are in :
/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
/mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
wich is ok.
d) i do :
/ # chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
/ # chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
/ # mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey
/ # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
When executing mlnet.sh i get :”chmod: /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory”.
I checked if mldonkey exists, and it does!
What am i doing wrong?
sorry for this idiot questions! People learn the most by there mistakes
picmaster,
Well, probably it is the first time it starts up then it would throw this message. On future startups, it wouldn’t show you that message anymore.
Hi shadowandy,
it still does not work, would u like to have a chat with me?
dpsven@hotmail.com
Thanx !
picmaster,
responded to you in your email.
hi shadowandy
I’m having the same issues exactly as picmaster… did you work out a solution with him?
when executing mlnet.sh i get : “nohup: appending to nohup.out” , when i then check with ps i dont see the mldonkey service running.
When i execute “telnet 127.0.0.1 4000″ i get this response :
“telnet: cannot connect to remote host (127.0.0.1): Connection refused”
chrisb,

Is this the same problem that picmaster was having? how did you solve it?
chrisb,
can you try typing the below 3 lines and paste me the result.
export MLDONKEY_DIR=”/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey”
export TMPDIR=”/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/temp”
/mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
Unfortunately, I’ve yet to contact picmaster as I am still busy with my stuffs. Don’t really have a timeslot at night to have a nice chat with him.
hi, just installed mldonkey. how do i connect to servers?
chrisb,
Just rectified picmaster’s CH3NAS. His problem is not like yours. Perhaps you wish to contact me through email?
Hi
Can you make DC++ for this device?
Andrey Rogovsky,
Is it the same as DirectConnect? If it is, then it has already been compiled.
MLDonkey for DNS-313
Some users has feedback to me that DNS-313 can also run the MLDonkey compiled for DNS-323 (due to the similar architecture)! MLDonkey would allow your DNS-323, DNS-313, CH3NAS, DNS-312H, etc to use various Peer-to-Peer protocols like Bittorrent, edonke…
I am having the same issue with chrisb.
I have followed your steps mentioned above:

Hi, I am a very newbie and have zero experience with Linux. In fact, I don’t understand any of the codes that you all have been talking about – I clearly need help! I am looking to install mldonkey to do bittorrent downloading without the PC. Can you please see if my understanding is right. Download mldonkey_292_real_simple.zip. Extract (using winzip) into the roof directory of the harddisk in the NAS. Reboot and wait before going into ipaddress:4080 using the browser?
Rick,
Yes. Most of the users have zero experience with linux and followed the instructions and got it to work. In fact, most of the problems users encountered were because they skipped some steps .
Thanks for your reply.
I have start all over again.
Confirmed the files in:
/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
/mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
Start:
# rm -rf /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey
# rm -rf /.mldonkey
# chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
# chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
# mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey

Have missed anything?
Philipcs,
Are you using fonz’s fun_plug package? I noticed a handful of users encountering problem because they are not using fonz’s fun_plug.
Hi, I have successfully installed mldonkey – thanks for your advice. I have another silly question. I have created a directory on volume_1 called torrents where all the torrents are kept. If I am using the torrents in that directory, shouldn’t the dl command be dllink /Volume_1/torrents/abc.torrent? or should it be dllink /ipaddress/volume_1/torrents/abc.torrent? I have tried both and both times it says No such file or directory – please help.
Hi, me again… I have downloaded mldonkey-2.9.2-ALL-graphical-DNS-323.zip, extracted it and replaced the realsimple version of lnx_bin and mlnet.sh already in the volume_1 directory. I rebooted and have been able to login via broswer but I can no longer view the drive using windows explorer or map the drive. The error message is saying that the drive is not accessible. Please help! Thanks.
Rick,
Volume_1 is actually /mnt/HD_a2. So technically you should supply it as /mnt/HD_a2/torrents/abc.torrent
it is a common problem and is documented in various sites. Try typing “smb restart” in your telnet session and wait a couple of minutes before accessing your share.
Shadowandy is indeed a guru in this dns323! Thanks for the effort!
Thank you. I now have another question about how to start a telnet session. You see, I have read the howto:telnet webpage. It says to install fun plug, then install telnet, then use the Putty to access. Since I don’t have access to the NAS, there is no way I am extract the telnet installation files. I am using the fun plug from mldonkey_292_real_simple.zip. Can you please tell me how to start a telnet session to run the “smb restart” command? Many thanks.
Alex,
Thanks for the compliment. There are lots of people who are great at compiling stuffs for DNS-323.
Rick,
Just use any telnet client and telnet to your DNS-323’s IP. The MLDonkey real simple starts telnet session.
Hi, first off good work on the client.
Sadly i cant seem to get it to work, i also get the following error:
/ # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
nohup: appending to nohup.out
Already tried the segmentation fault commands but still doesn’t work. Hope you can help me out
Same problem as many others. I got a:
nohup: appending to nohup.out
and mlnet doesn’t show on ps.
I have tried everything mentioned in these pages. The DNS-323 is pretty new and I have just copied some files, nothing else. What I’m doing wrong?
btw, I’m using fun_plug by fonz
DyStiC and Fran,
Can you type the 3 commands that I wanted Chrisb to type? Please paste me the results after that.
Sure, thanx for your time.
Here is the result:

Hope this helps.
DyStiC,
Well you are suppose to invoke mlnet through mlnet.sh as it solves the /.mldonkey directory is full problem. That is why I wrote mlnet.sh. Can you paste me the result of the following command.
which sh
Seems like most of the problems are from CH3SNAS.
They are just exploiting you shadowandy! You don’t really need to accede to their request. I wont be surprised if they are not using the correct telnet client.
Shadowandy, i ran the command here the resuylt:
/ # which sh
/mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/bin/sh
Hope you can make something out of it.
Thanks for your help. I think I have started to download now. However, I can’t actually see the finished file. I am seeing how fast I am downloading but the actual downloaded file can’t be located. Where should I be looking?
DyStiC,
Execute the following 2 commands
mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/logs
/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
Rick,
It is located in /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/incoming/
Thanks. The torrent which I used contains 4-5 files one of which is a RMVB file with a chinese character filename. My statistics show that I have finished downloading it but it is not in /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/incoming/ as you say. Is there anywhere else I should be looking?
How do you just download only 1 of 5 files from a torrent using mldonkey?
I am trying to conserve upload data usage. Is the simpliest way to stop seeding a torrent to delete the torrent or is there a mldonkey command for it?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Shadowandy,
I deleted everything and started again and now it works. I’m still getting the “nohup: appending to nohup.out” message but mldonkey is running now, I get the web interface and it’s downloading. Is this message an error or just some info?
Thanks for your time!
Shadowandy:
Oops, I ansered too fast. Torrent files do download, but I have no servers in the list so I can’t search in edonkey. I’ve tried with some server.met files withoput success, “No such command servers” is the answer I’m getting.
Rick and Fran,
Please refer to FAQ and forum on MLDonkey (sourceforge) for the usage of MLDonkey and its plugins.
I only use the bittorrent protocol. Other plugins are compiled due to request from users.
Shadowandy, I use chinese files and directories. I am noticing that as I copy them onto my DNS323 the chinese characters don’t show. Do you know if there is anything that I can do to fix this?
Rick,
Upgrade to the latest 1.04 firmware (for DNS-323) to fix unicode issue.
Thanks Shadowandy. Stupid question again – where do you download 1.04 firmware from? I have looked at dlink and google. All that I can get is the beta version. Please point me in the right website to download from. Many thanks. Rick.
Shadowandy, I think I have really stuffed it up. Because i have a hidden file which keeps seeding in mldonkey, I decided the get rid of it by formatting the harddisk. When I logged into the admin page and did a format, it starts and then tells me that the format has failed. I then have no way of accessing the drive again. Any ideas?
Rick,
1.04 is in beta stage. That version have the unicode support. If you don’t wish to use beta version, then perhaps you need to do without unicode support.
Shadowandy,
I have now installed 1.04beta. However, I am still unable to see chinese characters. Perhaps I need to reformat the harddisk first before unicode support becomes active? I actually tried formating. To do this, I first kill the mldonkey software, then delete the mldonkey program files in the volume_1 root directory. However, everytime I try to delete the mldonkey files, it says “access denied”. Have I not killed the program entirely? Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
Rick.
Hi guys, tryed version 2.9.3,2.9.2 and 2.9.1 always got the same errors… maybe all the ones listyed here:
- “chmod: /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory” every time, nothing changed when i created manually the directories with the proper chmod
- segmentation fault every time…
All these issues solved uploading the mldonkey files using user admin via samba… previously i was using another user uploading via http://ftp..
Strange indeed.
I have wierd problems due to repeat segmentation fault. I found out that my ftp client program, filezilla, change the mlnet file when I upload it. Only when I did a mapped network drive , I realised mlnet filesize is different from the original. Spend a few days troubleshooting and now it’s working with the original file, copied over via mapped drive.
kahuna,
thanks for sharing! FTP can transfer files in either ASCII or binary mode, that’s why the filesize changes and sometimes it doesn’t work.
Shaowandy, something very strange has happened. I downloaded a BT that contains a few files in a directory. Once the downloading stopped, mldonkey creates a directory in “incoming/directories”. For some reason I cannot delete the directory or the files contained in it. I’d be grateful for your troubles. Rick.
Hello,
I’m keep getting the same error messages
CH3SNAS_1:/mnt/HD_a2# /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh: line 15: syntax error near unexpected token `else’
/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh: line 15: `else’
Can somebody tell me what it meens
CH3SNAS_1:/mnt/HD_a2#
Rick,
Telnet into your DNS323 and chmod the folder and directories to 777.
Getyours,
Are you using the fun_plug package from fonz?
Hi Shadowandy,
. Great work!!! This is really useful and your effort is greatly appreciated.
Last night I downloaded your build of MLdonkey 2.9.2, and installed it, following your instructions, on my DNS-323. It worked without a glitch. It took me a little tinkering with the MLdonkey settings to get it the way I wanted but once configured it’s been running perfectly
shadowandy,
How can I check te funplug version?
Is it posible to exucute te funplug from a usb disk?
Oke I’ve got it to work
still getting the same error but it seems to work
next thing to do is setting up Image Gallery
But I’m not getting futher than
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg.sh lighttpd-1.4.17.tgz
system doens’t reconize funpkg.sh
Patrick,
Type the following command to check your fonz’s fun_plug version
cat /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/etc/funplug-version
funpkg.sh is one of the shell scripts that come with fonz’s fun_plug. If you don’t have it, most likely you are not using fonz’s fun_plug.
Miraelsol,
Thanks! Glad that it helped you.
I had exactly the same problems as picmaster and chrisb. I got the “Connection refused” message when trying to telnet to 127.0.0.1 4000. I dont know what problems they had, but my problem was that I had not set the system date.
Try to logon to the DNS 323 web administration and go to Tools -> Time to set the time. Run /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh again and then continue with the telnet to 127.0.0.1 400 according to the instructions on this page.
Stupid little thing, but it solved my problems. I hope that it will help someone else as well.
@Shadowandy.
Thanks for all the time that you have spent helping everybody.
After a clean instal I’ve got everthing to work.
Now I’ve to setup the Image gallery
Thanks foor the help
rapsolja,
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Patrick,
You are welcome!
Hi
I have a question, and a big problem, i only seeded torrent when i download the same torrent.
In share the finished torrents i can t upload nothing!!!
reshare_torrents and seeded_torrents and nothing.
Why ? I have open Ports in the router, and i have problems only with the FINISHED TORRENTS. This is a big problem, because of the racio in my private trackers.
Thanks for the software.
Hi, how do you stop the torrents? I’ve tried pause all, but nothing happened.
Hi, how do you stop the torrents? I’ve tried pause all, but nothing happened.
Thanks for your work! One thing i have to mention: I tried to used the block ip feature with the http://www.bluetack.co.uk nipfilter list, but then the ram consumption exploded (with >70 MB, without 40 MB). And the DNS323 keep constantly swapping was not usable anymore (until i killed mlnet). i reverted the change and now it runs fine again.
I’m having the following error, waht can be wrong? thanks
When executing mlnet.sh i get :”chmod: /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory”.
boey2891,
Are you running fun_plug by fonz?
i download and install ur fun_plug. thks
shadowandy:
Thanks.
Can you compile 2.9.3 (bittorrent,directconnect,filetp) light build ?
any chance for 2.9.4?
mike,
I’ve complied the lite and normal version. Facing some problems with the “all” version hence not releasing it yet.
Hello,
I have this problem.
I have a CH3SNAS+fun_plug+Firmware 1.04

Unfortunately, I’ve only one method to rectify “segmentation fault” problem. Do share with the rest if you found another method.
Chad,
To shutdown completely, you can use the kill core options in the web interface. To prevent it from booting up, you need to comment off the line that calls mlnet.sh in the file fun_plug

Hi Shadowandy, thanks for your effort. I am using your 2.9.3 compilation and it’s working now. However, i am getting very slow torrent downloads all the time (
Torrent downloading speed never exceeded 10 KB/s. I have already enabled port forwarding. Is there any thing else i can check to increase the slow download speed?
this nohup thing is really getting on my nerves. i followed the thread here but still unable to get it to work. keep saying nohup.
using the 2.9.3 (bittorrent,filetp,gdlib)+funplug as above.
how do i remove everything clean and try again? i did
rm -rf mldonkey
rm -rf lnx_bin
rm mlnet.sh
Icke,
It is not a new error. As mentioned in the previous comment, execute mlnet.sh instead of mlnet.
daves,
Perhaps you might want to try transmission for DNS-323
Bernard,
What problem are you facing with nohup?
/ # mlnet.sh
/ffp/bin/sh: mlnet.sh: not found
???
What can I do, to fix the problem
Icke,
You actually need to find where mlnet.sh is located and execute it.
Hi, how can I turn it on now? hehe
Thanks!
shadowandy:
“Icke,
You actually need to find where mlnet.sh is located and execute it.”
How I can find it out?
THANK YOU !!!
shadowandy:
I used your method of setting up the MLDonkey and Clutch for transmission, both can
run in my system, but the Torrent downloading speed is only 1 to 2 kB/s, is there any wrong with my port forwarding for setting:
Belkin router F5D8230-4: 192.168.2.1

hello to all.
i just wish to ask 2 questions though i am not sure that here is the best place for them.
a) i wish to connect to a specific DC++ hub and i cant find a way to do this.
b)due to nature of my LAN i have to add one route to make the DNS work properly. when i add it everything works fine, but when ever i do a restart the route gets lost. how can a make a network route persistent?
Anonymous,
Add your route commands into the fun_plug file so that it will perform them every time you restart your DNS-323
i have already added the line and routing part works perfectly now. thanks!
but my first (a) question remains.
i wish to connect to a DChub on a specific IP e.g. 10.2.3.4 on port 123456789
from where and how do i do that?
from what i got i should edit the file server.met but i dont know how to define that its a DC hub
i am using mldonkey version 2.9.2 that includes DC++

hello shadowandy,
excuse for my bad english….
i would like to change the current path “mldonkey”
by “mlnet” but i have the famous error “segmentation fault” it’s impossible to change the directory “mldonkey” by an other ?? thank for your help
gillou
I managed to set allowed_ips so that 127.0.0.1 disappeared and now I can’t go into mldonkey via telnet. How do I recover without disturbing ongoing downloads?
ignore my question, “problem” solved
A new and better question: why can I only select from donkey network at search (overnet,donkey,bittorrent,filetp is “true”)?
Shall I update the servers.ini file and how do I do that? It sounds like you can get it automatically updated, but how?
This is exactly what I needed and it works right off the bat. Nice work bro. Enjoy your kopi
Hi,
i know i´don´t know enithing about linux but i get mldonkey to work on my dns-323 with this help. but what is the web login user and pass????

Hi,
I tried to install your last package and I had this error when executing mlnet.sh;
/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory
I decided to restart all the installation.
The problem is that I can’t delete the folder lnx_bin\logs
I can’t even copy the file dmesg.out (Access is denied).
So I copied all the files excepted this one. And I ran these commands;
/ # chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
/ # chmod a+x /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
/ # mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey
/ # mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/logs
/ # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
chmod: /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory
/ #
I still have the same problem, Do you have any idea why I have this error? The folder mldonkey exists, so I don’t understand…
Thanks

OK, this must be a really retardedly naive question since I can’t find the answer anywhere on at least three forums.
I have MLdonkey installed on my DNS323 but how the heck do you search for and download torrents with it?!

Hi shadowandy,
Thanks in advance.
I have a DNS323 with 2 500Gb Samsung HDs, and I heavy use MLDonkey, as a donkey/torrent heavy user I am. My machine has the 1.04 firmware, and upgraded the fun_plug to 0.5. After that my MLDonkey dont work anymore… It doesnt even start… I use the alternative mlnet.sh to download to HD_b2. After I telnet the machine and enter the command, nothing happens… One strange thing is that the “nohup” message it echoes after the command dont appear anymore… Do I have to do something in a different way after fun_plug 0.5? Sorry if I sound like a newbie…
gmpassos,
I would need to try mldonkey on fonz’s fun_plug 0.5 and get back to you.
gmpassos,
Please type the following commands in your telnet:
# export MLDONKEY_DIR=”/mnt/HD_b2/mldonkey”
# export TMPDIR=”/mnt/HD_b2/mldonkey/temp”
# ./mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
Check if your mlnet ends with a segmentation fault.

Hi shadowandy! I did it! That file “files.ini.tmp” was messing the whole thing! I excluded it and… done! MLD working again! Thanks for the help!
gmpassos,
Wow! I will take note of that and if other users encounter the same problem. I will get them to check out the file.
Thanks!
Anyone get this while trying to install MLdonkey? This is a fresh install, not sure why I’m getting the “nohup: appending to nohup.out” and “WARNING: Directory /.mldonkey is full, MLDonkey shuts down”

Hi there,
Some issues with Mldonkey 2.9.5 on the DNS-323. It keeps crashing after a while (a few hours) and cannot be re-launched untill I delete the file.ini.tmp file in mldonkey folder.
I love this tools and appreciate the work you have done with it… Do you have an idea of what could be the issue?
Thx,
Calvin

Any suggestions would be appreciated, I’m stuck and it seems like a dumb mistake i’ve made somewhere.
Thanks ahead of time!
Mark Sobon,
By executing the three commands (which executes mlnet directly), hitting ctrl + c will end the mlnet process, causing it to die off and not appear in your “ps”. Execute your ps in another telnet window.
Hi Calvin,
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into it.
Thanks a lot! I just need to say that it looks much more stable now… It was probably a specific file which I was downloading which was making it crashing?
hi there,
I’m new with mldonkey and I’m havin’ trouble running the mlnet.sh
sh mlnet.sh
mlnet.sh: line 15: syntax error: “else” unexpected
This has been posted before but did not get resolved… I did get it working once but after reboot I couldnt start it again.
can anyone help out here? perhaps you need more info? im running fun_plug 0.5 on a CH3SNAS
already found out what the problem was…. did the whole setup again with the telnet session and now I can access the webinterface… however now I have another problem in the webinterface:
DNS resolution does not work
I saw the reply on modrica’s post but I didnt quite understand that. I did a port forward of (6881-6882) to the CH3SNAS IP. Am I still missing out on something?
please advice, thanx
egg_nostic,
Which version of fonz’s fun_plug are you using?
Hi,
I also got the appending to nohup.out error. Although it took me quite a while, it wasn’t that hard to figure out.
In the end I manually did this, and the answer to my problem presented itself:
/mnt/HD_a2 # export MLDONKEY_DIR=”/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey”
/mnt/HD_a2 # export TMPDIR=”/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/temp”

Thanks for compiling this and for the great instructions on this page, ShadowAndy.
Hi Shadowandy,
thanks for providing MLDonkey for the DNS-323. I ran the “real simple” edition a long time (>100 days) without any issues. Now I’ve updated to 2.9.5.
Recently I’ve replaced my harddisk and simply copied the data from the old one to the new one. I’ve started MLDonkey and it runs a short time (max 24h) interval but then it terminates.
I get these error messages in the /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/mlnet.log:
2008/06/01 16:20:51 [BT] [file_num 2][temp temp/BT-4XR7T5LBAAKNTX2IEHD4BOHBLLJVWOP2] Failure no. 2/10 from Tracker http://tracker.desitorrents.com:6969/announce in file: Northern Exposure Reason: unregistered torrent pass

The last error seems to be the reason for the mlnet process to die.
Do you have any ideas what’s going on?
Is it because of the update to 2.9.5 (I’ve downloaded already some MBs of the same torrent with the “real simple” edition without problems)?
Is it because of the harddisk change? Maybe a simple copy operation doesn’t do it…
Is the torrent (or one of the peers) faulty?
Hi ShadowAndy,
I’ve upgraded my DNS to FW 1.05 and downgraded mldonkey back to 2.9.2 “real simple”. Everything seemed to be fine but it was quite slow. As I’ve read, the newer version might be faster, I’ve upgraded mldonkey to 2.9.5 “real simple”. It ran about 1 day but recently it crashed again.
The last line in the log file was:
2008/06/04 23:16:43 [BT] Exception Invalid_argument(”String.sub”) in bt_handler
If this causes the crash – do you know a solution?
Bernhard
bgoedel,
Thanks for the detailed information. I will check out the patches and see if anyone of those address this issue. It *might* be a bug or simply something went wrong with the compiling process.
To make MLDonkey run faster, you need to tune the settings. Let me do search on that.
gmpassos
it is caused by an improper shut down of the core before the device (dns323, in my case) restarts.
ie. restart the device with mldonkey running and you wont be able to re-start.
soln: shut down the core first then restart the device
Hey Andy
Lets start by saying I like what u are doing here.
I was very helpful when I bought my CH3SNAS over a month ago.
NOw I also have a little question.
I have your package 2.9.2 installed (if I remember well) it was a version with the fun_plug included.
It worked perfectly for about 3 to 4 weeks till 2 days ago.
I try to log in to the webpage: connection refused.
I telnet to my machine, do ps and I see no mldonkey process.
So I try to start the mldonkey deamon again.
/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
it says nohup: appending to nohup.out
I do ps and I see:/mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/mlnet
But I still cannot get to the webpage of mldonkey.
I think mldonkey itself is running
So HELP: what is the problem here.

was able to make the DNS-323 running and downloading thanks to Andy and this site !
There is one problem that I can’t fix after many tries/search: I can’t seem to change “max_hard_download_rate” in downloads.ini. Tried both:
1. stop mlnet and edit downloads.ini using vi and set it to 0; it always get back to its previous value (20)
2. telnet to localhost and use “set max_hard_download_rate 0″ and still does not work.
I can change “allowed_ips” and “max_hard_download_rate_2″. Not sure what’s causing this. Andy or anyone can help ?
Thanks
Francis
Well, dig it a bit more and find that when I increase the upload rate, I can increase download rate accordingly. This does not seem to be the case in the sample downloads.ini provided in the beginning.
Francis
Alex,
mlnet takes some time to become ready. When it is ready, you should see 3 instances of mlnet.
Hey Andy,
I know that but it doesn’t get any better dan 1 process visible.
But I have far worse problems now. I cannot telnet anymore.
And trying to resolve things I seem to have copied a file that has no accessrights what so ever.
How can I remove the fun plug?
Alex,
Removing fun_plug is as simple as deleting the fun_plug file and removing the fun_plug folder (fun_plug.d or ffp).
Maybe you might want to attempt the fun_plug set up again.
Hey Andy,
that is what I tried. But I cannot delete the start folder inside the fun_plug.d
It has absolutely no access rights.
And reinstalling the plug means I cannot write to the exsisting start folder.
Maybe I can edit the jar or something so the .sh files go to a different location. Else I just reformat the thing
Thanks for your answer
Alex,
If you are using fonz’s fun_plug 0.5. You can edit the “fun_plug” file before installation to direct it to install to another directory. You just need to edit the FFP_PATH variable (example here).
You should change it to a suitable directory on your /mnt/HD_a2 though, for example /mnt/HD_a2/reinstall/ffp
Thanks for the advice Andy,
Thanks for the tip about fp_0.5
I already emptied the NAS and formatted it.
Because I have it only since just over a month, I purposely kept the data on it also on the HD on my PC. Just in case anything would go wrong while experimenting. ( I know my self and my knowledge of Linux
)
Thanks
Hello Andy,
it’s me again. I was a bit to fast with cheering about formatting the device. Had a lot of trouble. The webpage kept telling me that formatting the 2nd drive went wrong.
I tried everything. Swapping drives, using only 1 drive at the time. Always 1 drive didn’t format. It seems the format routine in the website isn’t very strong.
In the end I inserted the good drive only. prepared that with the ml donkey 2.9.5 + funplug. Inserted disk 2 and formatted it through telnet. Finally things worked again
Now I still have a question. Because I have a raid1 and a JBOD partition
Now the funplug is on the raid1 partition, but I would love to move it to the non raid section.
THe funplug included in 2.9.5 is that fonz plug? And which version? 0.4?
Can u give me some pointers on moving everything to the non raid partition and have minimal installation on the raid1 partition?
Thanks
Hi guys. I’ve been trying to get your latest mld nstalled on my dns323, running fp 0.5 with the 1.05 firmware. This firmware runs the included bittorrent client. The dlink client doesn’t allow many advanced features which is why I would liek to try mldonkey. Thing is, when I try to start mld the log says the port is bound to another application . I tried chaning the port in the dlink BT client to 6882 ( from 6881) but then the message in the log file said mldonkey was trying to bind to the new port 6882 and getting the same error message. Is there any way round this. I would still like the option of running both the dlink bt client and mldonkey simultaneously if possible.
Thanks

Hello Andy,
it is me again.
I got my NAS up and running again but now after a few reboots, somehow MLDonkey doesn’t start anymore
If I manually say “/mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh” I get the message “nohup: appending to nohup.out” and ps returns 1 running job and after a few minutes it disappears.
What can I do to find out the problem or fix it?
Greetings
Alex
Hi, Andy:
Really need some help here. I manage to make the mldonkey working by downloading and installing the simplified version that you provided, and later replaced the “mlnet” with a full version. It works for about 2 weeks and then yesterday I find the mlnet core dead. Tried everything I can but could not get it run again — same error as Alex when trying to run “mlnet.sh” manually. The only way I can get it run again is to remove mldonkey directory and setup a new directory and then reboot. Today I find the core is dead again. Checked mlnet.log but could not figure out what’s wrong. It’s pretty annoying if I have to keep remove mldonkey directory and reset as all the downloaded part are wasted. Any idea what could go wrong ?
Alex and francis,
Yeap. Seems like it gives segmentation fault on improper shutdown. I am also trying to find the exact cause too. But I need the help of other users to explore as well.
Thanks, Andy. Just tried this to recover what I downloaded:
1. rename existing mldonkey dir
2. run ./mlnet.sh manually. Still get some error message but I can see mlnet is running and I can telnet.
3. Kill mlnet.
4. Copy the relvant file/dir such as files.ini, server.ini, temp and torrents dir from the backup directory to the newly created mldonkey dir.
5. reboot — now I can continue downloading from where it’s left over when the core is killed.
But there is no fun if I have to do this manually all the time …
Hi Andy,
I have a new box with a fresh setup running FW 1.05 (hdd is also newly formatted and empty). I downloaded mldonkey.2.9.5.lite.realsimple from your site and proceeded to place all the files except readme.txt in volume_1 before doing a restart. however, i cannot seem to get mldonkey to work. can’t reach the NAS on port 4000 or 4080 at all. a check on the running processes does not list mlnet. a manual attempt to start mlnet gives me the following msg: nohup: appending to nohup.out
what seems to be the problem?
Hey Andy,
what can I do to help explore the problem?
Dennis:
I have a bit hard time to get it run in the beginning as well. Try the following with no preference of order:
1. full permission to mldonkey dir: chmod 777 mldonkey
2. rm -rf /.mldonkey
3. as another user kindly suggested to me, remove *.pid and *.tmp in mldonkey directory
4. instead of restart, do a power shutdown, and then power on.
Hope this helps.
Alex,
Follow the temporary fix suggested by francis. Well, normally I would search on google to see if others have similar problems then try it out before posting fixes. Been busy lately due to projects so didn’t have the chance to google.
[...] descargar ficheros Torrent era poco, hay una versión de la mula para este [...]
Hello Andy,
I tried the fix Francis suggested. Didn’t help.
I have no .tmp or .pid files in that directory.
And it didn’t start again after a shutdown / startup of the NAS.
I am googeling but I cannot find a solution.
But maybe I cannot find it because I am not much of a linux wizard. Just know the basics.
Greatings
thx francis. ur suggestions worked.
I didn’t try to remove any pid and tmp files though as there were none
Great, Dennis. Happy downloading.
Alex: I got very similar problem that you described and the way I fixed it is to follow suggestion from bgoedel: remove *.pid and *.tmp file in mldonkey directory. Run /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh. you will see the nohup message but wait for about 5 minutes and you should see 3 mlnet process running.
Alternatively, I suggest you:
rm -rf /.mldonkey
rm -rf /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey
then reboot.
Andy: I reversed back to 2.9.2 “normal” version of mldonkey and it appears that I have less drop. With 2.9.5 the connection drop every 2-3 hours. 2.9.2 has been running for about 5 hours and I will see tomorrow morning. With 2.9.2 the connection does gets spiky, i.e., speed goes up and down all the time. I will stay with this version for now if I don’t see too many drop.
Added to note above for Alex: after removing the old mldonkey dir, you should:
mkdir mldonkey
chmod 777 mldonkey
then reboot. I think that’s how I get it to run again.
HI – thanks for the great work Andy. I am having the no-start problems too. Perhaps some clues:
1)When I mlnet.sh manually after a failed auto start, I see the mldonkey directory create a gaurdingp2p file (up to 13,675kB) then dissappear.
2) My latest mldonkey no restart definetely happened after a proper “kill core” before dns sutdown
3) No files in the folders within the mldonkey folder
Hope this helps
think i really have a problem using mldonkey. can’t seem to figure out how to use it
1. can i just use mldonkey to open the torrent files like how i’d normally do with bitcomet and other windows based bt clients?
2. even if i inserted a http link of the torrent, nothing ever seems to happen and the transfer won’t start
3. i tried to use the search function but i can’t even seem to add a server first
i noe it might sound dumb but is there any useful guide ard like this one regarding the usage of mldonkey?
Hi,
I am very new to this and I have just set up MLDonkey 2.9.2 to run on my D-Link DNS-323 NAS. But I have the following questions since I can’t figure out:
1) I have download Sancho and run it, but it keeps tell me the the “Username or password was incorrect, try again.” I put “admin” under Username and leave Password blank. Since that’s what MLDonkey tells me as soon as I open the Web Interface. It says” Security Warning: user admin has an empty password, use command: useradd admin password.
Do I have to reset my password on the MLDonkey first? If so, what should I do?
2) How to add torrent to MLDonkey? I tried put a torrent file under \\mldonkey\incoming, but nothing ever seems to happen.
Thanks in advance.
Dennis,
1. Doubt that you can make your computer recognize torrent files and passing the torrent file to mldonkey (on the DNS-323) automatically.
2. For this, would you mind showing me the contents of log file?
3. It would be better to go through the logs of mldonkey.
mldonkey.sourceforge.net have some basic guides. Hope it helps!
row,
Well, for the blank admin password. It won’t be a problem unless you intend to access mldonkey over the Internet.
As for the mldonkey\incoming, you would need to set the scanning interval in the mldonkey options. Honestly, I didn’t really try the function.
Andy,
what email address can i reach you at?
Dennis,
I could be reached at shadowandy[dot]sg[at]gmail[dot]com
Hi, Andy
I’m keeping get mldonkey automatically shutdown in a cycle like around 6 hours. files.ini.tmp will be created every time after mldonkey shutdown. How can i fix it? I’m running 2.9.5 now.
Thank you and have a good day.
Hi,
Do you have a howto on how to compile programs on the DNS-323? I’d like to compile my own version of nzbget.
Thanks,
Valentijn
Valentijn,
Will put up one soon as there is compiling capabilities if you are running fonz’s fun_plug version 0.5. It’s much easier compared to the past.
Hi, shadow. Ready to compile brand new mld 2.9.6?
Hi,
I have the same issue than many people over here..
When I do
/ # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
I get
chmod: /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory
When I do
chmod: /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory/ # mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/logs
/ # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh
I get
chmod: /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/*: No such file or directory
1561: Illegal instruction
I use fonz’s fun_plug 0.5
Do you have any idea?

Hi,
I have a problem with MLdonkey2.9.5: How can I delete things from my incomming folder? When I try it now I get the message that I don’t have the rights to do that. Do I need to set them someware?
I use:
- Conceptrocics CH3SNAS Firware version: 1.0.3
- Fun Plug 0.3
- MLdonckey 2.9.5
TimTie,
To set the permission, you would need to telnet to your CH3SNAS and chmod the necessary folder and/or files to 777.
To avoid such problems in the future, you should try to upgrade your fun_plug to version 0.5 + the latest compiled version of MLDonkey for the ffp 0.5.
Hi,
I get the access denied error message when I copy a torrent file under /mldonkey/torrents/incoming.

Hi, I’ve installed mldonkey and have it working on my DNS-313 by following your instructions, thanks.
Is there any chance of a version that only has the Direct Connect client, (to save RAM, etc), as I don’t use BT, (or any other of the protocols that MLDC supports), and the DC will only be used when I plug it in at a LAN party.
Unfortunately, MLDC seems to be the only DC client with a web interface.
Even better would be if anyone knows of a DC Hub with web interface that would run on a DNS-313.
Thanks again for your blog.
4wd,
You can disable other network plugins in the options or you can compile your own mldonkey or other applications by adding compiling capabilities to your NAS. The instructions would work for DNS-313 as well.
I downloaded mldonkey-2.9.6-full.tgz and copied it with Windows under /mnt/HD_a2
Then I telnet’d:
> chown -R root:root mldonkey-2.9.6-full.tgz
> chmod -R 777 mldonkey-2.9.6-full.tgz
> funpkg -i mldonkey-2.9.6-full.tgz
Installation looks correct…
> mlnet
And I get:…
Looks like my script is not right, but I can’t understand why not since it looks like I’m using the right one !

Mehdi D,
Use the script mlnet.sh instead.
Dear all,
Due to the large amount of repeated questions. I’ve compiled the common problems into an FAQ.
Check out the MLDonkey FAQ
Andy, can you please recompile MLDonkey 2.9.6 for DNS-323 with fixed “max_bt_uploaders” bug?
Currently it’s impossible to set that value greater than 5, and MLDonkey doesn’t allow seed or leach to more than 5 clients.

Dear Shadowandy,
I have an issues of very slow downloading even I got a high id and most of the time there is no connected servers in the server list, only after I restart then I can see it’s connecting and most of the time only 3 servers connected, after next day the connected server become a 0 again.
Can I have your mldonkey config (ed2k and torrent config) file for a comparison with mine? Do you have the server list as well, don’t mind to share? Thanks.
Cheers,
323Newbie
Hello,
I installed mldonkey 2.9.5 on my CH3SNAS, I’m used to handle with torrent clients but I really do not know how to download stuff from torrent trackers. Could you please explain me how to download from e.g. the piratebay? Or redirect me to a forum…
thx
Leonid Medvedev,
Sorry for the late response, I’ve recompiled another version with that patch. Do test it out.
Shadow,
Im getting no luck with the “telnet 127.0.0.1 4000″ command.

What do you think it is? I started mlnet twice (It wasn’t in the /mnt/HD_a2/ folder though, I found it on the /ffp/start folder). Maybe is because I disabled telnet when I started the SSH?
Thanks
Daniel,
Uninstall the included BT on the DNS-323. It is using the port required by MLDonkey hence it doesn’t start up.
You can verify that mldonkey cannot start because the require port is in use by using the command “tail -n 5 /mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/mlnet.log”
Thanks a million Shadow!
It worked perfectly, had some issues to delete the files in BT (was not allowed) but managed to do it with the chmod command.
Now let´s see how this baby works!
And thanks again for you patience and help!
Cheers,
Daniel
Daniel,
You are welcome.
Shadow,
Unfortunately I celebrated too early. Now I’m unable to connect to my drive via windows network and I’m getting a pink drive led (or maybe is the amber-led-of-death, but it looks pink to me). The curious part is that I’m still able to connect to Mldonkey, SSH the drive and see all the files in it.
I restarted (usually the solution to all problems) the DNS-323 and at first the pink led drive went away, and when I connect to it via windows it does not go to the volume_1 root folder, I can only see an lp (usd printer), printers and web_page folder. And…after a while…the drive led turns pink again.
What can it be? The fact that I removed the BT folder? Because I cannot think of any other important change I did before this happened.
IF you have any ideas please share. Thanks!
Daniel,
Could you do a ps to let me see the number of processes that is running? The device could be overloaded and smbd is not given priority to respond to requests.
Of course! Here it is:

Mlnet might be the problem no? It appears 3 times on the PS.
Daniel,
Weird. smbd is not listed as one of the process. You should have entries of “/usr/sbin/samba/smbd -D”.
Do a “chmod a-x /ffp/start/mlnet.sh” and a reboot. After that do a ps again as I wanna see if smbd starts.

Daniel,
I am not sure if your DNS-323 is overloaded. Seems like the DNS-323 does a scanning of the directories for itunes and MLDonkey loading is also quite intensive due to the loading of blocklist. Perhaps an alternative is to manually call /ffp/start/mlnet.sh after every reboot.
Hmmm… I don’t know why, but when I SSHed the drive the pink led drive went away (is blue now).
Now, when I connect to the drive using the windows network, I see 3 folders (lp, Printers and web_page) that are not my volume_1 folders.
Didn’t want to but I think I’ll try uninstalling MLDonkey to see if it fixes this.
I found a solution!
Went to the configuration utility/advanced/network utility and I permited access to the volume 1 folder to all accounts. ta da!
I think that when the pink led drive incident happened, I somehow lost permision to access the volume 1 folder.
It’s everythiing ok, for now…
Thanks for you patience Shadow!!
Daniel,
That’s something new to me. Didn’t expect the permission to Volume_1 to be lost. Will take note of it when other people encounter the same prob. Great work on the troubleshooting!
Thank you for the binary and the great write up.
I installed mldonkey-2.9.6-normal-3.tar on my DNS-323. Couple of issues:
- When it runs, it created whole bunch of ini files at /mnt/HD_a2. Is this normal?
- I can stop it by “/ffp/start/mlnet.sh stop” but it doesn’t look like I can start it by “/ffp/start/mlnet.sh start”. If I reboot the DNS-323 by using its web interface, mldonkey will start up.
Please ignore my previous post. thanks.
I’m sorry, but i’ve tried everything to access to the incoming folder, but i can’t. chmod don’t give me a solution. Im a newbe with linux, so i dont understand how to use ftp or direct access with samba.
Can you give me any advise, or url please?
Thank you very much.
jiqn74,
You would need to chmod the folders to allow read and write access to others.
Hey Andy!
I used the Mldonkey Version 2.9.6 from your Download-Link. Whole installation worked fine but then I got that “DNS resolution does not work” Problem. Didn´t understand the answers you gave. I use fun_plug 0.5
So I guess that´s also the answer to the problem that mldonkey won´t find any servers…
Would be great if you could help me… I searched the net for hours but could´t find anything… don´t know what to do…
Please….

Hi everybody,
Here my suggestions:
DM: I have same problem than you. I can excute 2.9.7 but not placed in “top”, and not real execution. I have installed 2.9.6 again meanwhile.
3528 1 nobody S 46640 75% 9% /ffp/bin/mlnet
Andy: You should change the permission of the file (it´s about linux, not mldonkey):
chmod a+x /ffp/start/mlnet.sh
rafa,
Do follow the instructions for setting up MLDonkey on their respective pages. The instructions on this page was for NAS prior to ffp.
… mmm about my problem?
hom,
Do refer to point 6 of this post
Hi Andy!
I cant / # cd/mnt/HD_a2 my DNS says “Permission denied”… wtf??
plz help man… im lost with that stuff… cant even start… dont know what to do, where to look… i use funplug 0.5, im loged in as root…
anybody? suggestions? PLEASE….
thx
ok, ok…. got it… sry… please delete post…
Hi !
I installed your MLD on my DNS and it works fine… well it says “DNS-Resolution..”
What can I do about it?
It would be very nice if you would help me, or give me a hint where to look.
Thanks
Great work here.
installed MLD on DNS 323, it works great. 2 queries though.
Can MLD web interface be changed to use port 80/8080 ? I have DDNS on and would like to use MLD from anywhere, but port 4080 would be blocked normally.
Can MLD selectively download files in a torrent ?
Hi, Shadowandy,
Thanks for your great program. I have run it smoothly for few month.
But there is a time where power down and when I switch it on again.
The mlnet is not running any more. (I am using version 2.9.2)
When I try to start it by using # /mnt/HD_a2/mlnet.sh, the message “nohup:appending to nohup.out”come out.
I try to using the command “mkdir -p /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin/logs”
It gave me
mkdir: illegal option — /
BusyBox v1.6.1 (2007-07-22 13:51:10 CEST) multi-call binary
Usage: mkdir [OPTION] DIRECTORY…
Create the DIRECTORY(ies) if they do not already exist
Options:
-m Set permission mode (as in chmod), not rwxrwxrwx – umask
-p No error if existing, make parent directories as needed
Please tell me what I should do. I totally don’t know about the command language.
Thank you
Kelvin,
Try using the latest MLDonkey.
Hello,
I’ve installed MLDonkey 2.9.7 on my DNS-323
I started mlnet but while “New shared file …” (as I see in log file) I obtain an segmentation fault
2009/02/25 20:14:05 [dMain] Core started
Segmentation fault
I started mlnet by this follow command:
/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start # export MLDONKEY_DIR=/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey
/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start # export MLDONKEY_TEMP=$MLDONKEY_DIR/temp
/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/start #/ffp/bin/mlnet >/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey/mlnet.log
so I can see what happend to mlnet…
Any Idea?
sorry, I seen this later:
[...]
If you do encounter “segmentation fault” after a few runs (which I hope you don’t). Back up your configurations (*.ini), downloads and file you think you would need before running the following commands (without mlnet running).
[...]
But you suggest to re-install all?
Hi Shadowandy,
I was very disappointed with the bt interface and it’s abilities when I bought the dns323 yesterday. But now I have hope)
Thanks! will be setting up your latest MLD tonight.
Heyo!
I just bought a 323 and I can’t stand the BitTorrent interface, so I thought I’d try out your MLD. The problem is that I don’t know Unix at all. Is there an easier setup for noobs that have been suckling at the M$ teat for too long?
Kevin,
If you are able to follow basic instructions, you should be able to follow the guide. There are quite a few people without knowledge in linux and managed to set it up.
Shadowandy,
I can follow basic instructions, but I couldn’t find any that I could understand for MLDonkey. I did some reading and decided to go with transmission instead. I found your instructions at:
http://www.shadowandy.net/2009/01/transmission-142-for-dns-323.htm
THAT’S exactly what I was looking for. It worked perfect for me and I’m using the Transmission Remote GUI and it works great! I had to buy you a cup of coffee for this info.
I have one question though, will the transmission start automatically when I power up my 323 or do I need to run the “sh /ffp/start/transmission.sh start” every time?
Also, one suggestion I would add to the transmission instructions is how to change the default download path for us non-unix types (I assume most people would put it in a Downloads folder in their root) in the settings file to:
/mnt/HD_a2/Downloads
That was the only trouble that I ran into, but easily found a solution for it.
Thanks,
Kevin
Hi Shadowandy,
would you please send me or release 2.9.4 (lite and normal) .
Thanks in advance
Andriy,
I didn’t compile 2.9.4. Perhaps you want to try the latest versions available.
