My name is Massimo, I live in Italy but my heart resides in the Philippines since 1997.
I.ph free blogging service is about to shut down, they tought of locking blogs for new posts so I can't even properly inform you with a new post. I reserved the musante.i.ph domain to DotPH until when (if) that service will be activated my new blog will be here:
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″;]…
I then restarted MLDonkey server:
sudo /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server start
and I eventually managed to enter in MLDonkey web interface:
Let me say MLDonkey web based user interface is not the easiest thing to use, I managed how to start a download but I’m still studying the many options it offers.
