[Mldonkey-users] Donkey - Massive source counts

[Ebeneza]

In the recent weeks, I've seen an rather bizarre effect with mldonkey. For
popular files, the source count quickly goes up to around 30000, is then
eventually reduced to the configured source count limit (500), goes up
quickly again and so on and so on...

The source flooding seems to effectivly prevent normal downloads from
taking place; most of the upstream bandwidth seems to be spent in managing
the sources.

I've seen this with 2.5.21, but cross-checked with 2.5.20 and 2.5.19 that
is happens there as well.

Activated networks are Donkey and Bittorrent. All Donkey settings are at
their defaults (except for the ClientID). An randomly choosen example of
such a file is:
