Actually, there is an option to enable chroot for mldonkey.

this script need more extensive testing, but i think it could be use to run
more safely mldonkey.

-* Notes for woody user && backporters *
-* *
----------------------------------------
-
-The initial package was release for Sarge/Sid. It was not targeted to Woody.
-Regarding this it leads the packager to do certain choice, regarding the
-scripting possibility...
-
-I choose to use the command "stat" to get the owner of certains files. It was
-easy since stat belongs to coreutils in Sarge/Sid which is marked as
-essential. This means, i should not have any dependence on this package...
-
-In woody the situation is different: the arguments of the command are not the
-same, and the dependency to the package containing stat should be explicit. So
-if you are backporting or using mldonkey packages in Woody:
-
-- install coreutils from testing
-or
-- install stat and edit the corresponding script ( config, /etc/init.d ... )
-
-If you have downloaded this package from a private repository, you should try
-to contact the maintainer from this repository to explain the situation.

-If you try to use the init script of mldonkey, you should encounter problem
-with the option used for the nicelevel of start-stop-daemon. On woody system,
-it seems that you could only have a niceness of 0 set by this way.

-Use a niceness of 0 when using Woody start-stop-daemon.

-* Note for upgrading *
+* *
+* GTK2 interface *
+* *
----------------------
-From time to time upgrade is quite difficult. You could encounter errors like
-"Exception Not_found while handling ...". This generally means that there is
-problems concerning a certain pair of file you was downloading before the
-upgrade.
-
-You can try to reconstruct your database following this step:
-- delete the files.ini in you mldonkey dir
-- start mldonkey ( system wide or user )
-- go to the console ( GUI or telnet to the core ).
-- while authenticated, issue a command recover_temp
-
-This should build you a minimal file.ini.
-
-WARNING: this method is known not to be 100% safe. You can loose files, you
-can restart downloading et al. This command is not really reliable for
-everything. This command is know to work pretty well for ed2k and emule -- and
-very bad with bittorent.
-
-The best method is maybe to come back to an older version of mldonkey and try
-to get your download finished.
