I heard about this new-fangled p2p stuff and thought I'd check out
mldonkey. urpmi'd it and mldonkey-gui, launched it, but can't seem to
get any satisfaction. Connects to 4 out of 80-some servers; I find a
file to d/l, but it just kind of sits there and pulls it at less than
1k/sec. Is this just a function of p2p, or is there a way to get faster
downloads through selective targeting of files or some other magic?

Thanks,
Todd

Being a public forum this probably isn't the place to discuss such things but I can tell you that you're probably behind a firewall or some type. Almost everyone is these days. If you're behind a firewall you will be restricted to only the people who aren't behind firewalls (firewall + firewall = no download) and these people are almost exclusively really lucky cable modemers and dial up modemers. Both of which explain your slow speeds.
This could also be a problem with the number of servers you're connecting to.


If you aren't behind a firewall I can't really say what's wrong but the fine people at unitethecow.com can probably figure something out.
