Platero is a graphical user interface to the p2p meta network client mldonkey for KDE.

Platero integrates nicely with KDE. It feature list includes elinks for Konqueror, a tray icon, a unified look and feel and much more. Simply check it out.

Currently its developed under GNU/Linux but should work on other UN*X flavors, any usage reports are welcome.

Outstanding features:

  • It's integrated into the KDE desktop. Platero uses the same settings as the rest of KDE. Additionally it offers a system tray icon, edonkey 2000 links for Konqueror, and some other neat features...
  • It's fast and efficient. The main goal of Platero is to provide a cleanly designed, fast and efficient (in terms of memory consumption) MlDonkey GUI.
  • It's Free Software. Everything is free software (GPL) and programmed in C++ using Qt and KDE. Contributions / feature requests are always welcome.
