Mldonkey too old? LowID?

[Dave M G]

    I understand the reasoning behind having an application for each 
individual P2P network, for me the ease of use of having some kind of 
client that can access most, if not all, wins out. If I want to hunt for 
a file, I'd clearly rather just type it into one interface which will 
look everywhere than open and search using 5 different interfaces.

    So I'm keen to get either MLDonkey or a similar multi-P2P 
application up and running.

    Nonetheless, for experiments sake, I did try downloading aMule and 
seeing if it would tell me something about my ability to connect with a 
low or high ID. I can't say I really appreciate the interface. Unless 
I'm doing something wrong, one has to select servers one by one to 
connect to.
    And I don't see any dialogues which tell me whether I have a high 
ID, a low ID or anything of the sort. I don't see any error messages 
popping up warning of a low ID, but I don't think I can be optimistic 
enough to assume that means I have a high ID.

    Is there any way I can learn from aMule what my status is, or can I 
go back to what I'd rather do, which is getting MLDonkey to work?
