most of the sharing is through overnet, though i see
fewer clients.
when the upload bug surfaced, i was getting transfer
speeds that were several times the current. and not
just for new, popular files, even some old rarer ones.
couldn't mldonkey apply some kind of priority system
in which:
 setting files to a higher priority get them asked
more often like the 2.01-1 way (even in blind shots).
i saw a "priority" option in some version, though i
doubt if it worked. these "rich" sources, having
several chunks we require, could also get priority
when uploading, as this seems more fair. currently
emule is responsible for most of my upload and only a
small fraction of download.
 
thanks,
carl
