Some users have posted request to download files to the second harddisk (/mnt/HD_b2/mldonkey) instead of the first harddisk (/mnt/HD_a2/mldonkey).

I have attached a copy of a slightly edited mlnet.sh file. It sets the working directory to be on the second harddisk but the required files (mlnet and mlnet.sh) are still located on the first harddisk. This is to ensure that users who use the Real Simple edition are not affected by the changes. If you are comfortable with editing mlnet.sh file, you can modify it to execute off the second harddisk as well.

Instructions are included along with the archive. But do take note. If you are currently downloading stuffs onto your first harddisk. Remember to copy/shift your mldonkey folder to the second harddisk before executing this version of mlnet.sh. Otherwise, all your downloads will restart from zero.

Download mlnet-alternative from MLdonkey for DNS-323

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, CH3SNAS, DNS-312H, etc to use various Peer-to-Peer protocols like Bittorrent, edonkey (ED2K), DirectConnect, Gnutella, etc.

So if you would like to download torrents using your DNS-323, DNS-313, CH3SNAS, DNS-312H, etc. Choose the various compiled binaries from MLDonkey for DNS-323. For ease of setup, check out the Real Simple Edition!

You may find that your MLDonkey bittorrent client cannot connect to private bittorrent site’s trackers. You would probably realize that MLDonkey is not one of the supported bittorrent clients on these private bittorrent sites.

What you can do is to edit BT-user_agent to other supported clients like utorrent (uTorrent/1700), azureus, etc.

To change your BT user agent, simply login to your MLDonkey adminstration page. Go to the Options. Under the plugins drop-down list, select BitTorrent and change the BT-user_agent field.

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 decided to release a version of MLDonkey that is real simple to set up. Simply copy the files over and reboot your DNS-323. On boot up, the MLDonkey would be loaded along with fon’z funplug. Best of all, it is a small file, just slightly larger than the normal MLDonkey release.

In the future, if you need to upgrade to the next version of MLDonkey. Just kill the core and replace the necessary files (in /mnt/HD_a2/lnx_bin).

Download MLDonkey 2.9.2 with funplug over at the MLDonkey for DNS-323 page.

Note: Do note that MLDonkey download some necessary files over the Internet on boot up give it around 2 to 3 minutes (after DNS-323 bootup) before you try going into the administration page.

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 and they incur different amount of ram. Hence, I would only recommend running the lite or normal version, running the “everything” version may cause your samba not to respond to request due to resource overload.

Nonetheless, have fun with this version. You can get it from this page.

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, Gnutella, Gnutella2, Fasttrack FileTP, BitTorrent, and Donkey.

Download it from this MLDonkey for DNS323 page.
