It's not a bug, it's a feature :)
mldonkey explained that, since many servers do not reply to UDP, mldonkey does 
a "walk" over the whole servers list every 6 hours to check what servers are 
really alive.

Summary:  mldonkey 2.02-0 ignores max_connected_servers setting

Original Submission:  I usually set this to 1, since I connect to the same 
server all the time.  After updating to 2.02-0 today (Dec 23 2002), I have 
noticed that mldonkey seems to continue connecting to as many servers as it 
can, completely ignoring the max_connected_servers setting.  It also keeps 
dropping connections to the servers its connected to.

Saying that this is annoying would be a gross understatement, so I'll assume 
its a bug - unless its a feature that we as users need to know about.  Please 
let us know.

UPDATE:  After a while, mldonkey eventually obeys the max_connected_servers 
limit and ends up staying connected to the same server that I wanted to connect 
to all along (Silen-Bob).  I'm still very curious as to why it was connecting 
to servers so aggressively earlier, though.
