[Mldonkey-users] Source management

[Taros666]

Hello,

I tried to read some of the source code and have some questions and 
suggentions...

If I read the code right we see differences between sources that have 
chunks we don't have and sources with chunks we already have. I'd like 
an option to ignore and dump sources than have no needed chunks. This 
should only be done if enough sources are available to not loose sources 
for rare files. But files with lots of sources already have so many 
sources, that we can discard them without a problem. I don't want them 
marked as bad sources...really kick these sources. We would use less mem 
and have better chance to ask all remaining sources in a given time.

It was already discussed to remove sources with big queues. I think that 
would improve things, too. But can we already see the queues of emules? 
I couldn't find something in the source-code...
It would be fine to have a value for that (only queue sources that have 
a queue < SOMEVALUE).

If this things would be implemented (drop sources with no needed 
chunks/drop sources with big queues) this could improve mem usage,CPU 
usage, max-sources, reask cycles and finaly DL...
