Getting Started with MLDonkey
MLDonkey is a powerful, multi-protocol Peer-to-Peer (P2P) client included with the NAS unit. The features and capabilities of this tool are beyond the scope
of this user guide, the steps below will show how to get MLDonkey up and running. For more information on how to use MLDonkey, visit
http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net.
MLDonkey Basic Setup
The MLDonkey client requires one partition formatted with either ext3 or XFS. The NAS unit's format utility can format one physical unit with a single partition
using all space if needed.
Under the P2P/MLDonkey tab, choose the drive you wish to create the file structure on and click Save. Please note: this menu will permit setting up folders
on incompatible file systems. If this is done, MLDonkey will not start or may not be able to download files.
When the folder structure is set up, a page will appear stating this is done. Click the START button. NOTE: The MLDonkey setup page will create a share on
the selected drive called MLDonkey. This share will be configured with “None” permissions to “Everyone” as well as all existing users.
Next, a new page will appear stating MLDonkey is running. Click the link at the bottom of the page that reads “Launch MLDonkey Control Panel.”
A new tab will appear in the browser with the MLDonkey web interface. If MLDonkey is not fully initialized yet, the browser may report a failure to connect. If
this happens, wait about one minute and try again, either by refreshing the page or clicking a “try again” button – this step varies depending on the browser
used.
When first setting up, a prompt appears warning there is no password for the admin account. Click the space between the “DL” and “Input” buttons, then type
the command “useradd admin” as shown, then add a password after a space.
NOTE: The MLDonkey admin account is not the same account as the NAS unit's web interface admin account. It is recommended that the password
matches for simplicity, but not necessary.
MLDonkey will perform most of the remaining steps automatically and connect to some servers on the Donkey network.
To download a file using the Donkey network, begin by clicking search, then enter some criteria and click the Search button. After a query message appears,
click the "Search Results" button.
To download a Torrent, on the command bar type dllink followed by a space and the full URL path to the .Torrent file and press Enter or click Input. (example:
"dllink http://sampletorrent.com/path/dot-torrentfile.torrent"). MLDonkey will parse the download and add it to the download queue automatically.
Files queued for download will appear in the MLDonkey share in the incoming/files folder when when complete.
NOTE: this folder has read-only permissions and cannot be changed.
