At first i want to say 'thank you' for sending me your servers.ini
with up-to-date peers.
Now for the bad part: My connect seems to work now (somehow), but i am
not able to upload or download anything to/from overnet at all. My
stats look like this:

ovstats
--------
Overnet statistics:
  Search hits: 0
  Source hits: 324
  [...]
  Number of known Overnet peers = 3963

"looks good" you might say (except for the source hits).... but what
about the following?

client_stats

Really strange...
I remember having really good download-rates on overnet with some
older mldonkey-version...
