Was reading about this over at ShareReactor today and decided to give it a shot.

h**p://www.filedonkey.com/

Search for files on the eDonkey network in your web browser, find results based on availability, click a link and begin the download in eDonkey. It supposedly doesn't cripple the network like the old version of the eDonkey bot did.

I tried it out, works really well. For you Donkey fans, this is an awesome utilitly.

Thanks, i get nothing but hassle trying to connect to the donkey so maybe this will work.

My problem was'nt connecting - it was getting things to download !!!!

Thanx for the link, maybe it will work.

YIP .. Can't connect to any servers - Oh well it was worth a shot.

I get the same issue - or maybe mine is even worse. no matter what I do,I can't get any servers in my list. i gave up on e-donkey a few weeks ago.

This one is powered by ShareReactor. Not quite sure what that means, but it works.

I guess Mr. Simon Moon helped create this search engine. :)

Anyhow,

iam using the donkey for weeks now and iam pleased with it, better i remove kazaa and even the wife uses it :-)

there are problems with people who are using an firewall so there are forums for:
http://tdn.no-ip.org:90/pl/tdn.pl
and
http://home.pacbell.net/mikespot/

enough information on these pages to get it working ...............

it is important to get good a good serverlist well all the stuff is on those two pages .

i download movies with the donley and i have till now, one faillure a chinese subtitled movie with kazaa a LOT more .

anyway you like it or hate it when it runs you gonna like believe me just read some pages and go for it .............

just wanna say one of the good things is: when you share and open your upload speed the higher you wil get a higher download speed .

upload low means download not as high as possible ( on the options menu)

also have a look at your id normally it will be higer as : 300000000 if you get an 1419 or a number like that LOWer as 300000000 you have a problem there is no sharing or there is a another problem with the settings

correct me if iam wrong..............

h33p://www.filenexus.com/ same as share reactor

What happened to the servers that were installed at installation? Did you manually remove them? I sometimes choose the "Add all" option at the bottom of the web page below, but eDonkey has to be running to add the servers I think. List stays pretty current. Good luck...

I ran into another Problem - I finnally got it to work with a good server list ... it connected right away, But the prob was when I was trying to download a app, it said it was searching for 4 hours straight - I finally gave up and shut it off. This did'nt just happen with one app it happened with everyone I tried to download.

Also I am running a firewall - I disabled it and it still did it .

ypu are in a wait or queue so there are people before you who are first on the list .thats why it take some time to download .

best thing to do or what i do is let it run it is an stable network and the quality of the programs are oke especcially big size files as movies or games this is the program to use and yes looking can mean nobody has it or nobody is online did you do a search for it and find it ?????

I don't know if it found anythng or not - It would just say saying looking - With eveything I wanted.

oke i have now the same i want a movie " us marshals" it is an oldie :-) so it is hard to get meaning that sometimes i download for a couple of hours and when those guys or girls get ofline or whatever the donkey is searching .

so most of the time it is searching

for you try this go to search and search again after complete a new button will show up EXTENDED search click on it and then push enter and hold it down, it would now look at all the servers on your serverfile which you have ( i believe named: server.met) look at availibility how many people has it and get the one with the most users .

i work that way and it works for me , sometimes i closed edonkey and start it up it will give me a better connection especccially when my loads are "dead" .

for those firewall prblems :

Software Firewall
If you are running software like Norton Personal Firewall, Tiny Firewall, Zone Alarm, BlackIce or any other personal firewall software, you may need to set it up to allow eDonkey to function correctly. In order to function fully and receive a High ID, your firewall needs to allow eDonkey to run as a server. Allowing communications to be started from other clients to your machine. You may need to consult the documentation that came with the firewall to perform this step. Alternatively, with some more advanced firewalls, or firewall settings you will need to open ports 4661 and 4662 TCP for both incoming and out going connections, as well as port 4665 UDP for both incoming and outgoing connections.

I could'nt figure this one out so I disabled my firewall and got the same thing as before - So in a nut shell when I was thinking that edonkey sux I was right LOL :D

m8 have done it and it works for him
