called Objective-Caml, and present most features of the basic Windows donkey

client, plus some more:

by a WEB browser (), or with a classical client

interface (see - You can connect to several servers, and each search will query all the

connected servers.

- You can select mp3s by bitrates in queries (useful ?).

- You can select the name of a downloaded file before moving it to your

incoming directory.

- You can have several queries in the graphical user interface at the same

time.

- You can remember your old queries results in the command-line interface.

- You can search in the history of all files you have seen on the network.

It can also access other peer-to-peer networks:

- BitTorrent

- Fasttrack

- FileTP (wget-clone)
