Hi,
I was yesterday concerned with the WD disk issue and therefore I did not continued this thread.
I installed mldonkey following this link:
http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?t=88
And the mldonkey official wiki.
I downloaded from sourceforge the lattest code, version 2.9.7, and compiled it after installing the dependencies mentioned on the above link, and also on the mldonkey wiki.
I made some changes that I do not remember now, but the thing works!
I created a user and th program runs on that user account.
Everything is runing ok and I use the normal web interface provided by MLDonkey.
Just start the mlnet from the user account, restart the processes (stop/kill and start again) to make sure the setup files are written correctly and them connect from the browser:

That's it!
