THe server connects to your port 4662 to test if there really is a
donkey running. Sometimes this fails, because your mldonkey is
overloaded or the line is full. Just activate the "Force High ID" option
and be done.

Well, for a modem, this would be okay, for a 2mbit E1 clearly not, but
you did not tell anything about your lines abilities, so no one can
judge.

Of course, more bandwidth for downloads, less for network overhead.
