 ===== Initializing the Kademlia network =====
+FIXME It seems that the [[wp>Kademlia]] implementation of MLDonky is not compatible with e.g. the aMule 2.3.3 implementation (which is know as the [[wp>Kad network]]). See the **[[https://github.com/ygrek/mldonkey/issues/93|issue 93]]**.
+The implementation of Kademlia in MLDonkey was derived from the Overnet component. Overnet, which is now discontinued, was an attempt to enhance the [[wp>eDonkey2000]] program, to make it working without the use of central servers.
 As explained by this [[https://www.emule-security.org/e107_plugins/faq/faq.php?0.cat.6.6|eMule FAQ]], a list of some other users already connected to the Kademlia network can be downloaded here: **[[http://upd.emule-security.org/nodes.dat]]**.

-the MLDonkey program will try to connect the mailfud.org server on port TCP/0 instead of TCP/443. Specifying the port into the URL (e.g. **%%https://mailfud.org:443%%/...**) does not solve the problem because the HTTPS session does not start.

 Fortunately you can download the **GeoIP.dat.gz** file using your browser and copy it into the **$HOME/.mldonkey/web_infos/** directory; at the starting of the program it will be uncompressed and used.
+If you want the auto-update to work, you have to find (or host yourself) an **HTTP/1.0** server which provides that file.
