官方的英文FAQ：
Q: Why can't I connect? .

A: There could be a number of reasons why you wouldn't be able to connect to a donkey server. The things you should check are:

Do you have an internet connection?
Is there a server listed under the 'servers' tab? If not enter some from the servers page.
Do you have the latest version of the donkey. Check the downloads page and make sure the version number matches the one of your client. You can tell your version number by clicking the '?' on the toolbar.
Do you use a proxy server to connect to the internet? Then you need to enter the correct settings under the options tab.
If you are using NT, try connecting as Administrator.
If you are using windows XP make sure your personal firewall is off.

It is possible the server you are trying to reach is full. If you get the message "placed on connection queue" and then "Can't connect" it means the server is full. Good news is that you will be able to connect to some server.
It is possible the server you are trying to reach is down. Try other servers listed on the known servers page.
Make sure you are not blocking the port required to reach the donkey server. Usually this is 4661. This could be blocked on your machine, your router or firewall, or by your ISP. One thing to try would be running a donkey server somewhere else on different ports and see if you can connect to it.
Make sure HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ProxyEnable is set to 0. (I think this can be changed by disabling proxy in IE)


Q: Why is everything Remotely Queued?.

A: This means that the people that have the file you want are already uploading to other people. The download will start once those people have a free upload slot. This happens a lot on the donkey since most of the files are large people take up an upload slot for a longer amount of time.



Q: How come bytes transferred is larger then the file size?.

A: When you download a file from more then one source the donkey asks each source for a separate piece of the file. If one source doesn't send the piece you asked for then, when that is the last piece left, the donkey will ask another source to send it. This can cause some bytes to be sent twice. Causing 'Transferred' to be larger then 'Size'. The problem is worse on slower connections and with popular files. But this doesn't mean the download is corrupted. It should be fine once the donkey finishes it.



Q: What does it mean when a download says "insufficient disk space"?.

A: Since downloads don't necessarily come from start to finish there needs to be enough space available for the donkey to write to any part of the file. So the donkey checks each active download to make sure you have enough space to grow the file to its final size. You must have enough space free on both the partion of the temp directory and the partion of the incoming directory. If an active download changes to inactive (Paused, or Insufficient disk space) its ungrown disk space is no longer reserved and other downloads that were previously in the "Insufficient disk space" state can now possibly start.

If you want a particular file to download that is in the "Insufficient disk space" state you can either free up some disk space (It might take the donkey a minute to realize you've done this) or set the file you want to "High" priority and Pause another active download.



Q: What does it mean when a download says "Hashing"?.

A: The donkey must insure that the partial file is the same as when you last used the donkey. The download will stay in this state when you first start and eventually switch to "Looking". Hashing is the process of giving a file a unique ID. It looks at every byte of the file so can take a while if the file is large.



Q: What does it mean when it says "Corruption found in filename at part X"?.

A: That 9MB part of the file didn't have the same bytes when you got it as when it was sent. This is ok. That part of the download will be removed and the download will continue. It will redownload that part. Once the download is complete the file should be fine.



Q: Why is my ID number low?.

A: You get a low ID number(below 1million) if the server, and therefore other clients, can't connect to your machine. This could be because you are behind a firewall that blocks the port your client listens on, because you are using IP masquerading, or many other things.

It also means that you won't be able to transfer files with someone else with a low ID number. They can't get files from you and you can't get files from them. So if at all possible you want to allow connections on port 4662 to the machine you are running the donkey on.



Q: Why does it take so long to share my files?.

A: This should only happen the first time you share the files. The donkey must examine the file to give it a unique ID. After it has done this they should load quite quickly.



Q: What ports does the donkey use?.

A: It can run over any port. The defaults it uses are:
TCP port 4661 to connect to the server.
TCP port 4662 to connect to other clients.
UDP port 4665 to send messages to servers other then the one you are connected to.



Q: What is the deal with Collections?.

A: See the online help.



Q: Can I open/watch/use the partial files?.

A: It isn't a good idea. But if you don't intend to finish the download you can just rename the .part file to the appropriate thing. Keep in mind that some formats require either the end or the beginning of the file which might not have been downloaded yet.


Q: Why doesn't the donkey show the ping times of other users?.

A: Ping isn't a measure of how fast the transfer between your two computers will be. It a measure of how long it takes one packet to reach the other machine and come back. This is practically irrelevant for file transfer. What is important is the bandwidth between the two machines. You can connect to a machine on the other side of the world that has T3 and get a horrible ping time but still get your file faster then someone next door on a modem. Though each packet will take maybe one second longer to reach your machine. You will get many times more packets per second.

Q: Ok, so why doesn't the donkey show the bandwidth of other users?.

A: The donkey always tries to get the file from all the clients that have the file regardless of their bandwidth. It stops asking new clients for the file when your downstream speed is maxed out. So you never have to try to find the source with the highest bandwidth. It will all happen automatically.

Q: What do the colors on the progress bar mean?.

A:
Black: The parts you have already downloaded
Red: Parts that can't be found on the donkey network.
Gray: Parts that you are currently asking for.
Shades of Blue: The more blue the more common that part of the file.

Q: All those little files? (known.met, shared.dat ...).

A:
known.met- this file caches the file IDs that you have hashed so far. It keeps the donkey from having to rehash your shared directories every time.

pref.met- this stores the preferences you have set for the donkey, username, max Upload speed, etc.

shared.dat- This is a list of the directories you have marked for sharing. If you delete this file you will only share the incoming directory.

server.met- List of known servers.

friends.met- List of users you have marked as friends.

layout.dat- The sizes of the windows and the column headers.



Server

Q: How do I set up a public server?.

A: First you need a connection to the internet that gives you a static IP address. Modems and most DSL setups give you a dynamic IP address so you can't run a server off of those. You also can't run a public server on a machine that can't be called from the outside world, no servers behind firewalls or IP masquerading unless you map the port.
Then you download the server application from this site. It currently is only compiled for Windows or Linux.
Then you make a donkey.ini according to the documentation. Set the seed server to a working server so others will find you.


Next start dserver and your eDonkey2000 server is now running.


Q: How much bandwidth/processing power does the server use?.

A: Servers take very little bandwidth. They mainly need processing power. I think they use about 4-8Kbytes/sec for 800 users. A server on a PII 333 running Linux with 800 users uses about 50% of the CPU. Here are some stats provided by maurice.

Q: What is or how do I do this or that with Divx?.

A: We are really not the people to ask about this. There is tons of information out on the internet about Divx however. Here are some good links:

Q: How to increase the max open connections in win98.

A: This is in 99% of the cases unnecessary. Change or add the following key in the windows register (98 & 98se only):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP\MaxConnections
