A long time ago, when I first use "/var/lib/mldonkey", the reason was quite clear: *.ini file (all .ini file in this directory) are loaded and dumped by mlnet every now and then. The document you pointed, state about /etc/: A "configuration file" is a local file used to control the operation of a program; it must be static and cannot be an executable binary. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#ETCHOSTSPECIFICSYSTEMCONFIGURATION But *.ini file in this directory are changed by the application at every run. This files are in fact "state variable". That is the reason I used to move it to "/var/lib/mldonkey". If this is still the case (i.e. mlnet change .ini file), this is not a bug to have these files in "/var/lib".
