"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." (Robert A. Heinlein)

Experimenting with Linux: MLDonkey

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

   My little Linux server (PIII-550) works usually as Bittorrent download machine with Torrentflux running on the Apache server.  I desired to expand my little machine capabilities by installing some more download software. MLDonkey is a peer-to-peer client which let you download shared files in various network protocols.

 I did choose the easy way to install it using apt-get command:

sudo apt-get install mldonkey-server

 then I stopped the mldonkey server and edited the downloads.ini file in order to enable web acces from computers in my local network:

sudo /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server stop

cd /var/lib/mldonkey/

sudo vim downloads.ini

 I so edited the file adding my local network address range to allowed ips variable:

…

allowed_ips = [
  “127.0.0.1″;
  “192.168.30.2/254″;]

…
