that could be a problem with people downloading text files, but if it was how many MB/GB only, instead of how many files (and or both) then it would be good. also, any ranking system should be done on total data down/up'd, not file numbers. otherwise it would be pointless and sorta silly
i like the idea too, and it would be fairly simple to do it, so hopefully next release it will be there? people here that use DC++ know the advantages and once mainstream people get totals stats they will wonder how they ever lived without!
