I wouldn't suggest it as your firewall would choke trying maintain all 
the state connections. Instead, run once instance of mldonkey on your 
firewall, save downloaded/temp files to a nfs mounted dir on a machine 
with diskspace and add controls (rules) so that other IP's on your 
network (you and your buddies) can connect to the web interface. You can 
then search and download all at the same time with only one instance.
