mldonkey has been baned since a long time. However, Lugdunum baned
mldonkey by just checking for "mldonkey" in the clients name. So you
could get connected by just changing your client name.

The versions >=.p63 use another algorithm to identify an mldonkey.
They do it the same way mldonkey identifies other mldonkeys.

As Lugdunummaster was too lazy to code an error message for this you
will get a "You are on a LowID" error from the server when watching
the traffic with tcpdump.

Another point is that new Lugdunum servers expects your client to
answer there question within 8 seconds. Even this sounds ok at first
this is a big problem on slow CPU systems allready doing high traffic.
So it could be you'll never connect some servers because they are too
far away and you and they are too busy. At least connecting them takes
very long time.

Emule is baned from some servers too, as far as i know.
