 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.
-FIXME: It is not clear if pasting the URL of a torrent file into the DL dialog box is actually working. Other users say that the right way to start a torrent download is to copy the torrent file into the **mldonkey/torrents/downloads/** directory. Others say that the directory to drop torrent files is **mldonkey/torrents/incoming/**.
+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/]].
