[Mldonkey-users] Why does mldonkey open so much files (1024)?

[Void None]

Hi,

mldonkey is great but from time to time I have a problem with it.

Sometimes after a few hours mldonkey has 1024 files (including connections I 
think) open (lsof output) - and a netstat -n| wc -l says something like 124 
connections.

The problem with this is, that I can't connect then with telnet or http and I 
can't add links of course, too.

Now my question is, if it really neccessary, that mldonkey opens so much 
files/connections, and why - or it is just a bug?

And if it no bug, should I increase the limit in 
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h ? What are the disadcantages?
