how do I install edonkey on arch?
I got the ed2k-gtk-gui from pacman, but then what? I need some "core"!? where to get that? I looked at the official edonkey webpage but found only packages for debian (that ark could open), the package for redhat and all other was rpm and I couldn't open it!?

you will either have to compile and install it from source or make your own package.

there is no source on the page, not that I can find anyway...? I can only chose .deb, .rpm or .tgz... can I make my own package from any of those?

well .tgz would be my bet since source is commonly "tarballed" and .tar.gz or .tgz is the common suffix for this.
so download the .tgz package and then:
tar -zxvf <packagename>.tgz
then recurse into the untarred directory and see if there is a README or INSTALL textfile that explains the proper build instructions. If you want to make a package from the source then take a look at some of the PKGBUILDs in /var/abs (run abs as root to populate/create this directory and you may have to install cvsup first) and read any arch documents you need to build the package. (It is really easy, in most cases, to build a package and infinitely easier to manage than installing from source)

allright, I downloaded and untared! but there's no info file in it! I think it's already runnable files that I need to copy to the right folders... weird was to install... and no source either... we'll see if this may work...

I´ve made a PKGBUILD for the overnet core:

edit: I prefer overnet, but I think it´s easy to make a edonkey core PKGBUILD derived from that one.

allright, I finally got it up and running! but how do I download from webpages? do I need to set up my web browser (konqueror in kde) in some way?

Since Aug 2004 the eDonkey2000 and Overnet clients have been merged to the eDonkey/Overnet Hybrid Client.
A PKGBUILD for the recent version could perhaps look like this (based on linfocito's Overnet PKGBUILD):
pkgname=edonkeyclc
pkgver=1.0.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The official eDK2000/Overnet command line client"
url="http://www.overnet.com"
source=(http://www.zen18864.zen.co.uk/edonkey/1.0.2/edonkeyclc-1.0.2_i386.tgz)
md5sums=()
build() {
cd $startdir/src/
cp -R usr $startdir/pkg/
rm -rf $startdir/pkg/usr/share/doc
}
