One main problem seems that meta information is not counted there.
Esspecially querying for files, which is done on each client for each
file (paused or not) mostly twice.

See other mails for details.

Another problem might be the linux router, if you have one. Linux
limits the number of connections it tracks. mldonkey uses a lot of
connections so the router might drop a few (dmesg on the router should
tell you). Those drops make mldonkey loose connections all the time
and thus increases the number of new connects causing the problem above.

 You can increase the number of connects tracked in
/proc/sys/net/ip_contrack_max if you see messages about droped
connects.
