[Mldonkey-users] 2.02-6 collects too many sources

[Roland Arendes]

hi mldonkey,

  Is it possible to limit the global number of sources in the next
  release (-7) to a specific value?

  2.02-6 collects TOO many sources and is exclusively doing this.
  I get no downloads, and my whole upstream of 16k/s (even if upload is
  disabled with nu) consists all the time of the source management.

  Even after 2,5 hours of uptime I have only 88 kB downloaded and
  921 kB uploaded. Not even all chunks are checked (updated from an
  older version, and the new chunk states still have to be verified).

  10 of my 72 downloads are very popular files and have more than
  30000 sources each (with none connected).

  During writing of this mail I got an better idea: If one file has about
  3-5 times more sources than the average of all files, stop querying
  for it. The max_sources_per_file parameter can be removed, as it
  seems to be ignored for 2.02-5 and newer. It isn't a good way to
  limit sources anyway.

  What do you think?

  These are my current stats (removed senseless server columns):

The upload rate was reducing for testing. I can't stand the limit of
upstream mldonkey 2.02-6 creates without even uploading a single byte.
Even with upload_rate = 1 I can't see any difference.

Any ideas? MLdonkey? Pango?
