Mldonkey too old? LowID?

[Zach]

Your performance will suffer significantly with a low id.  This means
that other edonkey clients aren't able to connect to your client to
get slices of the files you're downloading.  The edonkey protocol
penalizes clients which are unable to share.

As mentioned previously, if you are behind a NAT, you need to forward
the ports that your client is configured to use.  Generally this is
4662 TCP & 4672 UDP, however most clients allow you to configure the
ports.  In fact if you run an edonkey client on more than one machine
on your network, you need to configure them each to use different
ports, since you can't forward the same port to different machines.

Regarding the "Your edonkey client is too old, please update it"
error, that is likely unrelated.  I run amule, and have never see that
error.
