Description :
MLDonkey is a door to the 'donkey' network, a decentralized network used to
exchange big files on the Internet. It is written in a wonderful language,
called Objective-Caml, and present most features of the basic Windows donkey
client, plus some more:
  - It should work on most UNIX-compatible platforms.
  - You can remotely command your client, either by telnet (port 4000),
    by a WEB browser (http://localhost:4080), or with a classical client
    interface (see http://www.nongnu.org/mldonkey)
  - You can connect to several servers, and each search will query all the
    connected servers.
  - You can select mp3s by bitrates in queries (useful ?).
  - You can select the name of a downloaded file before moving it to your
    incoming directory.
  - You can have several queries in the graphical user interface at the same
    time.
  - You can remember your old queries results in the command-line interface.
  - You can search in the history of all files you have seen on the network.

It can also access other peer-to-peer networks:
- BitTorrent
- Fasttrack
- FileTP (wget-clone)
- DC++
