I believe avoinding windows-users
is avoiding a good 70% of leechers and low-uptime people that kill a network.

It's not plain mean, it's just an observation, even among my very friends.
I'm glad GNUnet is Unix-only, I hope you guys will have a policy stating it.

I'll push it even further by for example 'forgetting' an easy #include, forcing 
users to add it themselves -> chooze your users, get a much better network.
I'm not a good C coder, but I can add an include if it's not tricky.
It's a fact that on gnutella 1% of users provide 70% of bandwidth and content...

Thanks anyway for the mldonkey, the GUI is nice and it doesn't seem to crash.
