howto Edonkey on your SME server/control from Windows PC

This is all very basic, but perhaps it can help someone

If you want to run Edonkey/overnet on your SME server and control it from a Windows PC. I believe this is faster than running a windows client, and is useful for me because the server is always turned on and I don't need to have my windows PC running for downloading

First, get the rpm package
[root@e-smith ]# wget http://www.zen18864.zen.co.uk/edonkey/1.0.2/edonkeyclc-1.0.2-1.i386_compat.rpm

Install the package
[root@e-smith ]# rpm -Uvh edonkeyclc-1.0.2-1.i386_compat.rpm

start overnet
[root@e-smith ]# edonkeyclc -g

Go to the options menu

> vo

write down the tcp and udp port setting, and the admin port

set a name and password for the windows gui

> pass asyoulike asyoulike

stop overnet

> q
would you like the exit (y or n)

install the portopening tool:
rpm -Uvh http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/downloads/dmc-mitel-portopening-0.0.1-4.noarch.rpm

In the server-manager goto the portopening tool and open the ports edonkey uses for TCP and UDP.

then, start overnet again, and see if your status is "open"

[root@e-smith ]# edonkeyclc -g

wait a minute or two, and check your status

> g

your status should be open

Overnet:
(open)
ID: 6f414f0a142b802b05932ee4fb810b12
hereisyouripadress:udpport (0.0.0.0:0)

Now, on your windows PC install the GUI for windows from here:
http://ed2k-gtk-gui.sourceforge.net/win32.shtml

enter the ipadress of your server, the admin port and the name and password you have set
You can change several settings in the gui or in the command line as you wish
(I changed the incoming directory to my homedirectory)
If you wish you can change the download and uploadspeed. You need to give minimum 20K upload to download at max. speed (0=max)

for running the overnet core in the background use the screen command as described here:
