Blocking overnet gave me some download rate back (nearly nothing to 4-10 
kB/s). Blocking every port like you gave me some more (20+kB/s a couple 
of minutes after, steady since).

See png included : overnet blocking was done yesterday evening around 
9PM (21:00) and other ports were blocked this morning around 10AM.

But still not a single server on the horizon (although I did the whole : 
remove servers.ini, files.ini, file_sources.ini, start mldonkey 2.02-8, 
wait for hash computation to complete, restart mldonkey thing).
