[Mldonkey-bugs] [bug #14984] Invisible downloads (ip blocking, etc) in background?

[Thomas]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #14984 (project mldonkey):

Well, trouble-shooting why a dialup connection is going slower than usual is
hard to determine if mldonkey has decided to update its ip-blocking lists
(4-5 megabytes?).  Instead of checking which packets flow in and out of a
computer, it might be easier for mldonkey to let you monitor what its
downloading rather than hiding this from the user...  I could clean out the
web_infos but then I'd have to manually update those files or create some
kind of system that tells mldonkey to download the lists manually and then
have it execute a script that parses the extension of the file and then has
mldonkey load the list with the appropriate commands (probably after copying
the file to the main mldonkey directory).  However, I think it'd be far more
user-friendly if these "invisible" downloads were more apparent to the
user...

These changes might not be trivial and, of course, I may be overlooking
something -- but I truly think that knowing what mldonkey is doing
(especially when its bandwidth-related) should be easier to determine, plus,
this type of bandwidth doesn't (I think...) show up in the GUIs and may not
even be limited to the specified max-bandwidth settings...
