If your client finds another copy of the file on
another, faster computer, it will start a new download, but this can mean your hard drive
begins to fill up with a bunch of partial downloads of the same file.
KMLDonkey is the KDE-based GUI for MLDonkey, a traditional P2P client that is looking
for interoperability with several of these networks. GTK-Gnutella is its GNOME counterpart.
They are both a little troublesome to work, but you should be able to avoid some of
the pitfalls with this guide.

Peer-to-Peer File Transfer 365
KMLDonkey
MLDonkey is a multi-network P2P client, which wants to work with all file sharers the
world over. It began as a client for the eDonkey2000 network, now known as the Overnet,
but now supports (to varying degrees) the Gnutella and FastTrack networks. KMLDonkey
is the GUI front for this client.
As a would-be KMLDonkey user, you must first go to the MLDonkey website
(http://www.mldonkey.org) to download the core package and the server lists. Several
stable versions of the core MLDonkey package are stored here as tarballs.
