Re[2]: [Mldonkey-users] starting mldonkey / allowed_ips / long queues

I tried that but "vd" displayed "0" downloaded bytes for these files.
The size increased while mldonkey was rehashing these files but not
all files could be recovered. I just thought it might be a good idea
to change the instructions on how to start mldonkey in the Readme.txt
since other people have had that problem too...

I'm not running a firewall. Would be nice if you could do this
directly in mldonkey.

Okay... good point! The Creditsystem of emule makes it really hard to
get rare files. Especially the fact that people can change the upload
priority of files they haven't finished downloading yet to "release".
This has the same result like removing all completed files from the
shared folders! This is something that ought to be removed!

I use emule 25b Tarod 16d on my Windows machine and it uses 5 upload
slots.
