I think its something software related that doesn't necessarily has to do with 
mldonkey.
Can encode movies and work with gimp at the same time for hours w/o any trouble 
at all and CPU at 100%.
It's been running for 2 hrs. now and up/downloading at rates I haven't seen in 
a long time and is connecting to servers immidiately where 2.02 stable wouldn't 
connect at all and didn't download more than 2 or 3 mb over 24 hrs. with the 
same netconnection.
I guess I got something flakey in xfree or kde.
I'll go and recompile those one of these days.
Only posted it in case somebody else has the same trouble. 

Greetings and thanks,

Klaus
