I dont think it is a good idea to drop packets.. its wasted Bandwidth for 
both sides.

I would implement priorities like this:
A file with 
high priority gets seached for more often. A file with low priority less 
often. That might boost the high priority ones a little.

Greetings, 
Nils

I'm not a programmer, but I can try to explain more technically what should 
priorities do, base on my poor qos knowledge : 
with kind of an ingress policy, it's possible to drop incoming packets. 
So it's possible to control what's incoming... 
A high priority download would be able to borrow bandwidth to a less important 
one. 
It's possible to do it, for sure, cuz QoS services can...
