That's bad. Once downloaded with Synpatic, I only had to start the back-end by typing 'mlnet' in a terminal, then starting the GUI by typing 'mlgui' in another terminal and it worked fine... <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> I have twelve downloads going on and I'm connected to Donkey and G2 (Gnutella2?). Should these be called networks or servers? It says on my screen that I'm "Connected to 4 servers on the Donkey network" and "Connected to 4 servers on the G2 network". As you can see I'm new to this file sharing thing. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I am fairly new to P2P too, only used very occasionally. Edonkey and Gnutella are 'networks', each of them containing containing thouands of 'servers'. A 'server' being any personal computer connected to said network, who made his local file public. So, as soon as you start MLDonkey, you become a 'server'. That's my very limited understand of the system...probably all BS ;o) And I don't understand why there are several networks. Since they all do the same thing, would be much easier to have one network, rather having things like MLDonkey that have to manage 7 different networks... Vince </BODY> </HTML>
