Download MLdonkey 2.7.5

The eDonkey network can be used to exchange files, among other things. In addition to the original client, eDonkey2000, an open source client called MLdonkey has also been developed, which runs on a wide range of operating systems.

The developers have released version 2.7.5 with the following changes:
