[Mldonkey-users] simple (stupid? ) question

[mrkiko]

Hi all! I'm a ml-donkey user, even if I'm not registered to this mailing list. 
I'm using mldonkey succesfully for all the aspects of the program... but I've a 
question. After a little time i configured it very well:
- it's connected to a lot of servers (razorback for example)
- i can handle messages
- it upload very well (I've a correct firewall setup)
- DOWNLOAD? It doesn't download anything! I can accumulate a lot of 
minute-credits, but it doesn't download, or it download very, very slowly also 
very popular files. I made a test with a file with a friend usin eMule. It was 
only a test to see if was the program having problems or I having problems in 
choosing files. We've the same connectivity providers, the same file-data but 
he downloaded the files in two hours, I'm waiting again :D . It's a stupid 
test, but ml-donkey (in my situation) seems to download only slowly... Why? I 
also ported a mobile pc on this lan and, using eMule it downloaded ok... 
If someone want donkey.ini or downloads.ini, it can make me know.

Razorback2 (server banner 1 ) warned me about the fact that I'm not using an 
up-to-date client, but I don't know of the existence of a more recent 
ml-donkey. I must use ml-donkey because I can only handle console 
application... If my question is stupid, I like to be warned (motivations and 
so).
