Re: [Mldonkey-users] bittorrent

Yes, but if they use 2 separate programs, they can
set a max rate for each network/each torrent.

Bittorrents don't last as along as files on the
donkey. Maybe people want to get those faster, and
therefore want more bandwidth allocated for specific
bittorrent downloads (and therefore uploads, since
upload speed affects the download rate)?

I don't understand. If a user decides to use both the edonkey plugin
and the bittorrent plugin, what does it change that they are both in
mldonkey, or in two separate programs ? If I run edonkey, and
bittorrent as two different programs on the same computer, they will
have to share the same connection anyway, the same upload and the same
download hard limitations. Bittorrent can only benefit from having
more clients available.
