MLDonkey is an open source multi-network peer-to-peer application. It is also the name of the P2P overlay that the MLDonkey uses. Originally a Linux client for the eDonkey protocol, it now runs on many flavors of Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows and supports numerous peer-to-peer protocols. Development proceeds at a rapid rate, and the MLDonkey team was the second to crack the encrypted FastTrack network protocol.

The original developer of MLDonkey is Fabrice Le Fessant from INRIA.

MLDonkey supports the following protocols, either partially or completely:

Written in the OcamlObjective Caml also known as OCaml or O'Caml for short, is an advanced programming language that is part of the ML family. It is developed and distributed by INRIA. Ocaml was created in 1996 as a successor to Caml Light. Its authors include Xavier Leroy, programming language and licensed under the GPL, the application strictly separates the user interface (which can be a web browserA web browser is a software package that enables a user to display and interact with documents hosted by web servers.
