And also remember that you will be hated by hub owners of other networks like Direct Connect, who will probably ban your IP the second you try connect (scripted), as MLdonkey is a very unpopular client due to it's greedyness. I haven't actually tried it myself, but from what I know it's kind-of like a web-crawler logging into several different networks and so on, finding your files, and it's simply due to this data-traffic generated by just one client that it's become the "Nazi of file-sharing programs". I'm not trying to start yet another long chain of bunny-bashing yes-no-maybe e-mails, just informing you ;-) If you first use Mldonkey, and then switch to, let's say DCGui (Direct Connect Client), chances are you won't get into any of the popular servers due to your IP ban. Your IP is normally published directly into the main chat to make matters more interesting, telling everyone that you are using Mldonkey, leaving you to a peril of the kiddie-hackers. I haven't experienced this myself, so I'm not talking from experience, but I do have a lot of contact of Direct Connect hub-owners, who all use these kind of scripts. I would too, if only I could get my bloody script to work ;-) Greetings Ralph -- http://tuxpower.f2g.net/ http://axljab.homelinux.org:8080/ "Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.
