unresponsive mlnet update
as it turned out, the configuration of my crontab i showed in the last post doesn't work correctly. it did shut down mlnet, but it didn't relaunch it correctly. also i wanted to launch mlnet from a tcsh and increase file descriptor count as described in the forum on macdk.com, but nothing really worked. so i came nearly back to the initial configuration, with the difference that now i relaunch it each 2 hours.
excerpt from my /private/etc/crontab
the script /Volumes/MAX120/startmldonkey.sh
this is necessary so mlnet will take the /Volumes/MAX120/mldonkey/ directory as its root directory.
