- Fixed ENORMOUS bug in donkey that could cause corruption on other clients
All the md4s will be recomputed for all shared files at next startup.
2003/06/02: Simon (release-2-5-1)
- BitTorrent: bug fix when reconnecting to tracker (remove empty event field)
- DriverMain: remove use of "cp" command
- Applied patches #1530, #1531, #1543, #1548 and #1563
Changes (newer first)
- Fasttrack:
* Reduce client_name to 32 characters
* Stop computing useless SHA1 hashes (inherited from Gnutella copy/paste)
* Limitation on the number of simultaneous sources for a file
* Ask for a range only after the connection has succeeded
* Support for Complex queries
* Works on PPC now
* sig2dat:// links added
* Automatically replace spaces in client name by _
* Use HTTP/1.0 (really necessary ? probably not)
* Recover sources for files
* Reconnect to good sources immediatly
* Ask longer ranges
- Fasttrack: working good now :)
* Can look for new sources
- FastTrack: first try, far from complete, only for x86 !!!
* Copy of gnutella/ plugin architecture to fasttrack/
* Cipher C stubs available from Ocaml
* Connection to main server: OK
* Connections to ultrapeers: OK
* Simple Searches sent: OK
* Results received: OK
* Downloads: OK, no recover yet
- GUI:
* Plugins sorted in config panel
* Fixed the problem with servers appearing as New Hosts
- Fixed bug adding one file several times in 'old_files'
- Applied patches #1523, #1527, #1512, #1513, #1510, #1503
- Applied patches #1476, #1477, #1479 and #1481
- Fixed major file corruption bug when using 'buffer_writes' in bittorrent,
fasttrack and gnutella.
- Plugins initialized in the correct order (no downloads restarted at 0%)
- Bittorrent:
* Force flush with "buffer_writes" option before Sha1 computation
- "set enable_... true/false" should now immediatly trigger the network
(before that, a restart was necessary)
- Bug fix: the bug causing too many open file descriptors and pausing
recovered files maybe fixed.
- Gnutella:
* Fixed problem with \r in GWebCache
- Searches can be limited to particular network (bug fix in GUI)
- Gnutella2:
* Added number of leaves per ultrapeer
- Added mldonkey/tools/pandora/ to help understand protocols
- Config: copy old downloads.ini to downloads_expert.ini and
donkey.ini if the latter ones are absent
mldonkey is a client to access the eDonkey network, a peer-to-peer network
particularly efficient for big files thanks to a multi-sources download
protocol. It is written in Objective-Caml, and comes with its own GTK GUI,
an HTTP interface and a telnet interface. It works on most UNIX platforms.
This closes my own PR pkg/18832 and PR pkg/20864 by Wolfram Gerlach.
