MlDonkey update

[mdi]

Hi, can we get the latest version of MlDonkey?

Thanks.

Hi

I did not expect new versions from this sleeping project. I go to check what changes are present in latest version.

[mdi]

Somehow it stopped working on my box and I found a latest version (3.2.1 - github) which is higher that the available one (3.1.6).
SourceForge, for MlDonkey project, has been abandoned, so github was active for some more time instead. Not sure what it could be done for upgrading.

I tried to reset the MlDonkey server, but still I cannot connect to the KAD network. I downloaded a new server.met and a new nodes.dat, loaded them. I can see the new servers and can search on them, but the KAD doesn't want to run. It claims about issues with the UDP traffic. But the ports are all opened and I tried eMule from a windows PC set with uPnp and it worked well.
MlDonkey was working until a few months ago, then it stopped.
I changed ports (maybe the internet provider blocks such traffic?), but even with new ports it doesn't work.
I have no more ideas what to test...

That's why I'd like to try the most updated version. I know MlDonkey protocols implementation is not fully compatible with the eMule ones, as far as I read on the internet.

Hi mdi

. I can see the new servers and can search on them, but the KAD doesn't want to run. It claims about issues with the UDP traffic.

Please can you post the warning

But the ports are all opened

I assume you get the information from your router (upnp table)

KAD stats in MlDonkey says:

Kademlia is enabled Kademlia Connectivity: NOT enough online peers ,there maybe a problem with incoming udp packets

Kademlia statistics Search hits: 0 Source hits: 0 Current files: 4


Yes, i checked my router, opened all ports used by MlD, changed ports, allowed the uPNP and tried also to open manually all ports.
No changes at all.

I tried twice to reset the server and reapply just the config for the folders, but still no results.

Hi! I finally solved it by setting this in servers.ini, where originally this list was empty:

BUT, now the KAD network is still not available for searches, even if it works for downloading.
I scraped the web a bit and finally the ultimate suggestion was to upgrade MlDonkey, because it seems that v3.1.6 (current) is an old version, while in the updated one the support and integration for Kad network is way better.
This is what I read.

Hence, again, the initial question: is somehow possible to upgrade MlDonkey?

Thanks a lot!
