When you limit mldonkey bandwidth to nBps bytes per 
seconds, each connection ready to receive data is 
allowed to read nBps/nrcs (number of ready 
connections). With priorities, a connection is allowed 
to read more if it downloads a priviledged file. 

Since edonkey connections already have a bandwidth 
power of 5 (they can read 5 times more than other 
connections), the connection can read:

(5+priority) * (nBps/nRcs)

Moreover:
- priorities should always be positive (default is 0)
- you can set it to 30 for example
- it has just been added, not tested a lot

Ok, I may be just dumb or I may not be looking hard 
enoughm but I cannot find any help on the 
new 'priority' command in  Release 1.99 beta 8 + 5 
(2002-10-05).  I don't want to meddle with it until I 
know how to use it right.  In particular, I'm confused 
about the first argument:

priority <priority> <files numbers>
             ^
             |
             |
what are the possible and accepted values for 
<priority>?  What's the default value for any one 
download?  Please help.
