I guess I don't need MySQL. I'm not the popular-file-downloader, my
files tenths perhaps a few hundreds of sources and mldonkey never
needs more than 20-30 MB. 

I really don't understand why (even with high popular files) anybody
needs thousands of sources. For me the direction mldonkey is
developing in the moment is wrong. Why not just getting 200-300 "good"
sources (sources with chunks we miss) and let time work?

Building large databases with "best" sources (everyone is then
flooding with requests) can't be the way to improve the network. It's
IMHO just shortsighted and egoistic.
