Hi,

First I find the colorbar for available, downloaded,
unavailable,... chunks of a file hard to deciver.
The colors should be explained somewhere.

Also some more information could be included.

Most importantly what chunks which client has.
That also would need some way of only connecting to
that client.

At the moment the "Retry connect" button in the
mldonkey_gui just tries all of them, even though
(as I suspect) most wont have the chunks I'm missing.

The intensity and hight of each bar could also carry a
meaning. Intensity for how common a chunk is and hight
for how much of it is downloaded (if so). So at the
start you would have a black-grey-white bar (depending
on how common the chunk is) and as you download it would
fill with green (or blue?) from the bottom.


I would be a good idea to show a color bar for each
client that has (parts of) a file. That would show
weather the file is dead, since everyone is missing the
same chunk. From webpages on a windows edonkey client I
belive they have that.
