[Mldonkey-users] Connected to no edonkey server

[vaab]

Precedent version of mldonkey(2.5-3) was so slow that i've stopped using 
it (never more than 5 Ko/s, and idle most of the time). I kept coming on 
the website waiting for changes. I'm happy to see that the project is 
not dead.

I've upgraded to 2.5-4, and download seems a little bit better. Not 
extraordinary (2 to 10 Ko/s almost continuously), but it has completed 
several files.
2.5-3 had the bad habit of draining all my memory (512 Mo RAM + 120 Mo 
cache), and after that was killed by the system. (a Linux in LFS flavour).

2.5-4 seems better... while i didn't really tested it in the same 
conditions :  i figured that when limiting the download file limit 
(max_concurrent_downloads) to 20, I stopped the memory expansion to an 
average of 80 Mo AND assured a rate to a good continuous 2 Ko/s. That's 
really better than 2.5-3. I used to have max_concurrent_downloads=100.

I remember days when i downloaded at 50 Ko/s with this connection and in 
the same network conditions (same route/firewall/rules...) with the 
first mldonkey 2.0. (I'm on ADSL 512/256.)

I've posted in different forum without much results, only certitude is 
that it wasn't the only problem of mldonkey. Thus, i continuously 
witnessed some post claiming 50 Ko/s or similar good health of their 
mldonkey.

Don't misinterpret my mail. This is not to blame mldonkey. Maybe just a 
way to say that I hope a lot on the future of the project. I've choosed 
to stay on the train. I might not be the only one that have similar 
feelings as i saw in the recent "getting frustated" thread on this list.

I don't know if this is normal, but mldonkey is rarely connected to any 
edonkey server. The server list contains pages of edonkey servers. And 
when i ask to connect to more server, this has no effect... If this info 
can help to find bugs ?

thx for reading my bad english.
