I'm trying to install a bittorrent client on my server, but am having trouble.
I am running SME 6.0 (I think, or it might be 6.1 - not sure - how to find out?).
I have downloaded bittorrent-3.4.2-1.norlug.noarch.rpm which needed python2.3-2.3.5-1.norlug.i386.rpm which needed db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm, after which the dependencies expanded to :
$ rpm -Uvh bittorrent-3.4.2-1.norlug.noarch.rpm python2.3-2.3.5-1.norlug.i386.rpm db4-4.0.14-20.i386.rpm --test
error: failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by db4-4.0.14-20
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by db4-4.0.14-20
libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by db4-4.0.14-20
libdb.so.2 is needed by python-1.5.2-43.73
libdb.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by python-1.5.2-43.73
and I gave up.
What's the easiest way to install a bittorrent client so that I can contribute to TLMP (http://forums.tlm-project.org/showthread.php?p=899#post899)?

Why didn't you use mldonkey.

Hi,
Why didn't you use mldonkey.
The installation of mldonkey is somehow obscure and only documented in french. Though i have some linux knowhow since my first steps with SME, i did not manage to install mldonkey either. I do not speak french.

You don not have to speak french to install mldonkey.
visit:
http://azurlinux.com/files/e-smith/mldonkey/sme-6.0/
http://www.mldonkey.org/
http://mldonkey.dyndns.info/
and you have to use sancho for the gui.

...because it isn't bittorrent.
...or is it?

from mldonkey.org
The official MLdonkey Community and News page!
MLdonkey is a powerful peer 2 peer (p2p) application for accessing the Edonkey2000 network as well as a few others like FastTrack, Bittorrent and Gnutella2.
The opensource MLdonkey p2p client is mainly being developed for Linux/Unix, but is also compiled and running on Windows and even MacOS X

You need a version of the client compiled for RH 7.3. The one you found is for later RH.

I've downloaded the official bittorrent client (python-scripts) from www.bittorrent.com and put all the files in a separate directory. So that is the source, not an .rpm .
I changed the path to python to /usr/bin/python2 in the header of the script btdownloadheadless.py, and use that script to download torrents.
Version 4 and higher need a little change in defaultargs.py, something with 'filesystemencoding' set to 'ascii' and it works !
Used version 3.4.2, 4.0 and now 4.0.1

Hi,
You don not have to speak french to install mldonkey.
After your statement it tried these. OK: MLdonkey installs on SME, but how does it work?
1. There are some ebays showing up. I do not have write access to these ebays.
2. Do i have to add myself to group mldonkey or whatever?
3. Bittorrent does not work, even though it is enabled from sanchez and is enabled in the configuration file.
4. None of your stated documentation explains, how to add torrents for download or even upload to MLdonkey.
5. It is not documented, which ports on the firewall are opened by the sme-mldonkey.rpm ; to make it clear: I do not like that.
6. The opened ports and the new user/group mldonkey do not show up in server-manager. I do not like that either.
For these reasons i only was able to use the emule-services with mldonkey. But i only use/need bittorent.
At least i did not find any docs, that explain in english and completely, what the mldonkey.rpm does on SME and how to use it.
Enlighten me, please.

Sancho has to be installed on the client. I did not like sancho. Many options and hardtofind parameters.
The original MLdonkey contrib can be accessed via http://servername:XX and that works pretty well.
But i uninstalled the mldonkey-contrib, because it did not work with bittorrent.
-
Yes mldonkey does work on SME 6.0.1
And picks up th bittorrent peers
and using this linux binaries - gtk for the link from sancho
http://sancho-gui.sourceforge.net/ not the java-gui
http://sancho-gui.sourceforge.net/dl/?31
Here's the proof a screenshot picking up fedora core 4 dvd
http://www.stiperstones.com/sme/pictures/sancho.jpg
ps dont know if sancho works on windoze 2000/xp
there is some software for windoze 98/me :cry:
-
Hi,
Yes mldonkey does work on SME 6.0.1
could you exactly tell us, what and how you did install?
Did you install sancho on the SME server?
Which MLdonkey.rpm did you use?
-
Here,s a small howto: to install mldonkey on SME 6.0.1
http://mldonkey.org/
Warning you install this software at your own risk has it opens ports on your server.
If using windoze's use putty to follow this howto part 1 I dont use it so you will have to find your own GUI interface (No Offence)
Using GNU/Linux
HOWTO: PART 1
Open terminal and issue ssh root@your-server-ip
login
Make directory
root]# mkdir mldonkey
Change into that directory
root]# cd mldonkey
Download file into directory
mldonkey]# wget http://azurlinux.com/files/e-smith/mldonkey/sme-6.0/sme-mldonkey-1.1-6.i386.rpm
To install
mldonkey]# rpm -Uvh sme-mldonkey-1.1-6.i386.rpm
To start mldonkey
root]# service mldonkey start
To stop mldonkey
root]# service mldonkey stop
INFO ONLY: This installs mldonkey to /home/mldonkey
To log onto mldonkey using a webpage this basic web-gui
http://your-server-ip:4080
This web gui i did not find very easy to manipulate read the wiki and forums
http://mldonkey.berlios.de/modules.php?name=Wiki
http://mldonkey.berlios.de/modules.php?name=Forums
HOWTO: PART 2
Warning this only works on GNU/Linux machines this is installed on Fedora-Core 4
Install this on your client machine into a folder in your home directory. ie: the one you connect to your SME server
I used this gui linux binaries – gtk
Here is the download page
http://sancho-gui.sourceforge.net/download.phtml
Download this into a folder in your home directory
http://sancho-gui.sourceforge.net/dl/?31
To extract:
tar -jxvf [filename]
Produces a folder in the your directory
named
sancho-0.9.4-44-linux-gtk
cd into the directory
]$ cd your-directory-name/sancho-0.9.4-44-linux-gtk
to start issue this command
$ sh sancho
follow the instructions
The End.

I've installed mldonkey, and it took me some time to configure it, but now it's all done.
From the web interface you can download bittorrents.
there is an empty bar with a box at the right hand end of it marked "input"
you paste the link into this bar and precede it with dllink
then hit the 'input' button.
example, to get dsl using open-bits.org tracker
dllink http://open-bits.org/download.php/1893/dsl-1.2.iso.torrent
the wiki at mldonkey.berlios.de was helpful

Stiperstones,
Nice How-To, worked like a charm.
I needed to limit downloads to between 2am and 9am each day.
I tried the 'calender' command in downloads.ini but it was out by an hour. This is a known issue apparently.
So time for a cron job. To make it easy I installed cron panel from here (http://www.vanhees.cc/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=232&ttitle=sme-crontab_manager-1.1-1.noarch.rpm) and netcat from here. (http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/7.3/i386/nc-1.10-11.i386.html)
Also needed the mldonkey_command script which I could not find installed by the mldonkey sme contrib so I got it from the latest CVS of mldonkey from here. (http://mldonkey.dyndns.info/index.php?dir=2.5.16/&file=mldonkey-2.5.16.tar.gz)
The command in the crontab manager looks like
sh mldonkey_command pause all and sh mldonkey_command resume all

William.

I had a few problems with http and ftp downloads not starting if they were over a certain size.
Ask a question at the Mldonkey forums and got this reply...
This is one of the worst MLDonkey version ever, please update immediatly because it has a major bug.
The latest binary would not work on my 6.0.1-01 server.
This core does not to work on glibc 2.2 systems as it was compiled on a glibc 2.3.2 system.
So I downloaded the latest sources and compiled it myself.
It did not fix my file size issue but it seems more responsive with sancho and it's builtin web interface.
It's available from here. (https://www.magicwilly.info/pictures/mldonkey/mlnet)
Just replace the mlnet file that is in /usr/bin/ Make sure you stop it before you do.
The web interface should report the following when done...
MLNet Multi-Network p2p client version 2.5.30.17
Networks: Global Shares Gnutella G2 Fasttrack FileTP BitTorrent Donkey
Features: threads zlib gd(jpg/png) iconv no-check-bounds sha1new
Ocaml version: 3.08.3
Build on: Linux i686 2.4.18-3 with glibc 2.2.5

Didn't I see a post here yesterday saying you went back to the old version because of certain port hits ?

Yes, made a big mistake, it had absolutely nothing to do with mldonkey :oops: thats why I deleted the post.
Have one problem though, it won't connect to the fasttrack network. The logfile says:
enabling networks: Donkey BitTorrent The Fasttrack plugin will not work on your computer, since
the encryption algorithm does not work correctly.

Do me a favour.
Take both the old and new mlnet files and place them in seperate empty directories. CD to each in turn and run mlnet. Take note of what is displayed on the screen... especially what networks are enabled or disabled.

I've just downloaded the source, and gcc, and cpp, and zlib and zlib-devel and glibc and compiled it all.
I can start the core but cannot connect to it except through lynx, and the web interface doesn't work well enough with lynx.
Although I've edited the new downloads.ini to say that I can connect from another machine, I don't seem to have it happening.
When running configure, several networks were disabled - eg soulseek, which may explain why others using new mlnet cannot connect to them.
-
editing the downloads.ini with vi and 'saving' did not save the changes.
i had to telnet in (from ssh) to save changes to the files - and then i could connect to the core with the web interface.
I am not sure why root can't save changes to a file - or do i have far more copies of downloads.ini than find could find?

If you start mlnet directly then the ini files are created in the directory it lives in.
If you use "service mldonkey start" then they are created in /home/mldonkey/ .
I thought who can access the web interface was set as a command line option in the script that starts the service.

Saw your second post first.
You can enable networks at compile time http://mldonkey.berlios.de/modules.php?name=Wiki&pagename=CompilationProblems.
So you didn't use the sme version as a starting point.
That is why you had to edit downloads.ini to get web access.
