 ==== Gnutella2 ====
+**NOTE:** From release 2.9.0 on, support for Gnutella and G2 are no longer compiled in by default as both plugins are buggy and currently unmaintained.
 [[http://www.gnutella2.com/|Gnutella2]] was created by [[http://www.shareaza.com/|Shareaza]] to solve legacy Gnutella's problems, replacing the aging and underperforming "G1" with a fresh and innovative platform designed to grow. Gnutella2 is an architecture designed from the ground up to be extensible, and includes a range of new technologies to lift performance beyond traditional expectations of a distributed system. Gnutella2 is a fresh start.

 To start a Torrent download with MLdonkey, locate the URL of a torrent file and use the ''**dllink <URL>**'' command or the **DL** button from the web interface. Remember to **activate BitTorrent protocol**, disabled per default in MLdonkey.
+Another way to start a torrent download, is to **copy the torrent file** into the **mldonkey/torrents/incoming/** directory; MLdonkey will scan that directory for new files and move the torrent file into **mldonkey/torrents/downloads/**, eventually renaming it with the proper filename. Once the file is downloaded, the torrent file will be removed from the directory (so, if you want to keep the torrent file, make a copy of it).
 Design and protocol are described on the main site [[http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/]].
