mldonkey Sancho

Hi,

I understand that this is not a place for Sancho. I'm starting this thread in case someone in mldonkey team might be in touch with the Sancho developer(s). The app won't work on Windows 11.

If someone knows a way to reach out to Sancho author/developer., please let me know. If there is a source code of Sancho somewhere, please share a link. If there is one, I can try to build it to run on Windows11 myself. I couldn't find the linux version of this app. Does anyone have it?

Thanks

Thanks @ygrek. Looks like the source version there is 0.9.4-23 and not the last latest one. Thanks for sharing. Can you or anyone at mldonkey dev team can reach out to Rutger? He used to support mldonkey as well in the past.

Thanks

Afair I never saw the source code of Sancho.

This is the original project page of Sancho GUI: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sancho-gui/ When logged in you can try to send a message to ovidr and hope he is still around after that long time: https://sourceforge.net/u/ovidr/profile/

Here I found an archived version of the Sancho GUI site: https://web.archive.org/web/20090115211441/http://sancho.awardspace.com/

The linux version of Sancho can still be found (here for example). The sha256 hash of my file, downloaded in 2009, is a9c80c2b3a6eb648d5b52cedcaaf2a9f21b07c8523fedc5f4bae54a3990d1570

(I tried to convert this into discussion but github failed with 404 twice in a row, so be it)
