Description: SuperKaramba (v0.32b+) theme for monitoring mlDonkey (v2.5.3+) downloads. Current release has the most basic functionality, namely watching the queue, progress and speed.
If you want to help me test pre-releases, please let me know (email? comments?). Added changelog for those interested - doubles as a functions-list/manual
Usage: Start it via superkaramba - that easy! In case you have used a previous version, please remove ~/.superkaramba/karDonkey.rc or at least rename it. (There are still a few things inside that .py-file that can be edited!)
To change the appearence of it, change the symlink in the theme-directory. Defaults to "_dark" and "_simple". Email me any alternatives you might conjure up, just remember it must be in .png and have the same sizes.
ps: It is no shame to trade OS-software via P2P programs... (Just wonder when kernel.org will participate

Hi!
I love both, mldonkey and kardonkey.
I've found a little bug, password support...
Since I've include users and passwords I was unable to wiew any data from mldonkey.
I've fixed this porblem adding this line after each connection:
soc.send("auth user password\n");
I thought you would like to include an user-password feature in the next version.
I would like to sugest a title line or something so... It's hard to find kardonkey when you have no downloads or you are unable to reach them...
Thanks a lot...
Uhm .. ehh .. I honestly dont remember :) www.deviantart.com perhaps?
I think I have placed it for download at www.blahzone.dk (look under wallpapers), otherwize there is a (sleigthly underdone) version inside a .ktheme for download also at www.blahzone.dk (under download/kde)
Cheers!
i really like your plugin, but i dont really like mldonkey(its gui is absolutely horrible!). could you alkso make it show your xmule donwloads?
that be reeaallyy awesome!
thx
No problem - just need a valid source for xmule .. and some info as to how to connect to it (e.g. would I have to run it from within karDonkey to access itm as is the case with Overnet?). If it is similar to eMule, then I currently doubt that external programs can connect to it/control it.
Post a link to their HP or whatever (or email me?) and I will look into it.
wow thanks for your quick reply.
the xmule homepage is www.xmule.org ,but donwloads and srcs are at www.sourceforge.net (just punch in 'xmule' in the search box and click on first result). xmule is a emule port however.
a really interesting project is xmule v2 (on the search results page for xmule) its not (only) a port of emule and looks really good; its not ready yet, when it is though it would be just awesome if you made a plugin for it!!plz..plz ;-)
thx

Great job but can it be adapted to edonkey/overnet? I'd love it to work like that. :)

/me would like to have support for BitTorrent :)
I thought mlDonkey DID support BitTorrent .. But as the rule goes - get me the info needed and I'll look into it! :)
I like your work, but i like the wallpaper too, where did you find it?? ^____^
