Hey, all. I just needed to bring this to your attention. The other day, I started using command line eDonkey (CLeD) because I had a crashing problem with eDonkey and eMule. I live on campus, so I use HttPort to bypass firewall, but then when I started using CLeD, I didn't know how to set it to go through HttPort. As a matter of fact, CLeD doesn't have a config to set SOCKS 4 or 5, which is necessary for a program to connect through HttPort. But, I tried, and I changed the port CLeD listened to for other clients to 127.0.0.1:1080, 127.0.0.1, or 1080. I tried them all, so I don't really remember which one was the one that worked. But, anyway, I had HttPort going, and I turned on CLeD. At this point, I was assuming that my CLeD was successfully set up for HttPort, which was not possible of course. But, then, CLeD DID WORK! I don't know how and why, but it did work, and I even downloaded a movie (Men In Black 2 DVD). HttPort has an indicator of connection speed that changes its color depending on the connection speed. After CLeD got going, I checked this indicator, but that indicator didn't have any color at all, which means there is no program that is going through HttPort. So, still with a slight doubt, I closed out HttPort to see if my CLeD was working on its own. And, guess what? It WAS WORKING. It kept working even after I closed HttPort, which means that CLeD was working behind firewall with no help. I closed CLeD to do some stuff, and I probably changed some other things too, and that must have blew up whatever the condition I had for CLeD to work behind firewall, and I can't seem to do it again. I did succeed to upload, but it doesn't seem to download. Right now, I uses SocksCap to have it go through HttPort, but I think I'm gonna try to find out how to use CLeD without HttPort again when I have some time. Anyways, I thought I should inform you guys.
