[Mldonkey-users] bittorrent functionality broken(2.5-3)

[Brett Dikeman]

FYI- mldonkey doesn't handle bittorrent properly, for whatever reason.

I had a bittorrent download that was going nowhere fast- 2-3 days and 
about 20% of the download.  I knew something was wrong, because the 
tracker showed a lot of seeders(at least 10) and not that many 
clients- maybe 50.

So I fired up the official BT client on a different machine(YES, 
portmappings and port settings ARE correct on both systems, thank 
you; I've tested both) and within 20 minutes I had 20% and was 
getting about 100-120kB/sec, which was faster than any burst rate the 
mldonkey client ever got.  Meanwhile- mldonkey still doing nothing.

As I type, mldonkey still has only 20%, is connected to 0 out of 60 
sources(so it knows of all the clients!) and its upload queue is 
empty- while the official client has over 30% and is uploading like 
crazy.
