From the get my edonkey department...

This comes from our reader Neiang, straight from Argentina. He wrote us about eDonkey, and BeOS. What is eDonkey you ask? It's a new type of file sharing that is gaining more and more popularity.
 
Neiang tells us about MLDonkey, which is open-sourced client compatible with the eDonkey network and now it can also connect to other networks, like Gnutella and Direct-Connect, to name a few. Let me paste Neiang's mail so you can get all the information he provided us:
 
"Hi!, i'm a member of a spanish BeOS web page called BeOS Aires. Well for months i've tried that somebody port eDonkey to BeOS, i've written to the owners of eDonkey but they only said that they'll try to get a new programmer but i think that they say that to make me happy hehe.
 
Mmm... maybe you know that there are several clients to connect to edonkey network like mldonkey that it's avaliable for several OS (windows, linux, MacOS...) well it can be ported to other OS like BeOS but my knowledges about programming are limited and i'm looking for programmers that can port mldonkey to BeOS. I've posted some news in BeOS Aires' website about it but there is not many programmers in the spanish BeOS comunity :( So i write you asking for your help, can you post about it on BEOS JOURNAL?
 
There is a F.A.Q. that says how to port mldonkey to other OS, here is the link. Maybe if some programmer reads the F.A.Q. and can port it to BeOS, the BeOS comunity will have eDonkey :)."
 
Well, are there any takes? Vitviper brought us, not along ago, our first Direct-Connect client, and now there's the chance of getting an eDonkey client too. As you know, choice is good, so go for it!.
