DAMN!

Just add a line "Point Your browser at http://127.0.0.1:4080 to control mldonkey" to console window output upon startup.

"Why should I?"

Because MLDonkey prints it onto your screen:

2008/09/03 13:13:24 [cO] Logging in .\mlnet.log

"The program starts, prints something and seems to do nothing, without even a hint for the user to control it... Is that a good UI?"

With MLDonkey UI and core/p2p functions are seperated.
When you start MLDonkey you start the core/p2p-stuff and you
can use Telnet or HTML to interface with MLDonkey. An eMule-style
UI is not build-into MLDonkey, thats the way its designed.

A "normal windows-style" GUI is Sancho, for example:
http://sancho-gui.sf.net

"If You don't care about non-technical users and the size of mld userbase - I am sorry to waste your and my time..."

MLDonkey is open-source, if you don´t like it, don´t use it.
If you want to improve it, send useful proposals and keep your
rants for yourself, thank you.

Why should I?

How should I know what file to look at as an averege windows user?
How, as an averege windows user, am I supposed to know, that .log should be associated with a text veiwer/editor?

The program starts, prints something and seems to do nothing, without even a hint for the user to control it... Is that a good UI?

If You don't care about non-technical users and the size of mld userbase - I am sorry to waste your and my time...

Did you have a look at mlnet.log lately?

Please, reopen bug.

The output of my mld on win32 looks this way:

The screen output already looks like this on startup:

2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] ---- enabling interfaces ----
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] using port 4080 (http_port)
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] using port 4000 (telnet_port)
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] using port 4001 (gui_port)
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] disabled networks: Fasttrack Direct Connect
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] To command: telnet 127.0.0.1 4000
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] Or with browser: http://127.0.0.1:4080
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] For a GUI check out http://sancho-gui.sourceforge.net
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] Connect to IP 127.0.0.1, port 4001
2008/02/29 17:24:53 [dMain] If you connect from a remote machine adjust allowed_ips

What are you missing?

Command line part of mldonkey should output to console the information neccessary to connect to available UIs to console upon startup:

  • fully qualified URL of http interface (if configured)
  • address and port of telnet interface
  • (possibly) names of available cross-platform GUIs


This would help mldonkey to be less alien to newbies and people who got used to GUIs.

This should be very easy. ;)
