multi-protocol daemon downloader

    by bruce

Mldonkey is the most versatile downloader I found, able to deal with most protocols at the same time.
It was the only one I found able to run on background, as a daemon with an easy-to.use remote interface (either for tracking downloads or adding new ones).
It is however not written in C/C++ but in objective caml, which explains why it can sometime be hard to compile (it used to trig a bug in an older version of the compiler, thus ... [More] requiring a patched version).
Mldonkey has the hability to trigger post download checks, making it easy to check downloads for virus or coherency between extension and contents (using file and some home-brewed perl scripts).
Best gui I found to use with is sancho, written in Java and thus usable on a linux box as well as on a windows box [Less]
