I'm not the original submitter, but I would assume download
priorities would decide where to invest time and bandwidth,
all other things being equal.

By way of example, suppose I have four files in my download
list.  One is rare and low priority, one is rare and high
priority, one is available and low priority and the last is
available and high priority.

While downloading the high-priority files, attempts to
increase the the availability of the rare files will
continue, but attempts to increase the low-availability
files will be put on the back burner.  No attempt will be
made to throttle the highly-available/high priority file
except to stay within other limits.

Once the available priority file is done, finding the
high-priority file will take precedence over downloading the
low-priority high-availability file.  The bandwidth and
resources dedicated to the highly available/low priority
file will be limited in hopes of improving the chances of
finding parts of the less available/higher priority file.

Some files are so well distributed that mlDonkey utterly
saturates my pipes downloading them.  I don't want that
saturation to keep me from finding the rare files I've been
trying to download for weeks.

What do you mean by download priority ? What do you EXACTLY want (from a 
programmer point of view :) ? Download mainly depends on other clients 
(senders), it's very hard to control it from the receiver.
