Re: Re: [Mldonkey-users] eMule Mod to emulate mldonkey

[Mike Jones]

So clients can then fake being Emule, not connect, trying faking as mldonkey 
and then maybe getting a slot? 

So many of these threads miss the point of why the Emule credit system pisses 
people off ==>  You can't fake it.  The system limiting access is controlled 
completely by the stored ratios in the specific user's host software.  Nothing 
can be circumvented by the connecting client.

Reserving slots is just an open door for future cheats.  Keep it simple and 
fair.

A "nice" approach could be to dinamically set the % of upload slots by
brand but also reserve an upload slot just for emules (as we did for
mldonkey clients).

I can hear you: "Oh, he's gone crazy", "He's mad", "Treason!!!".
