To implement such an idea it has to be supported by every servent on gnutella which is impossible. Because people will use old servents and theres no guarentee that every developer would add it anyways.

This is no argument at all here. This is a developer forum where we discuss about gutella's future and ideas. New ideas must be developed and proofed, good ideas will be implemented in future clients.

What if a user was sharing 2 gigs of polka music and only uploaded 2 songs in a day. Even though they are sharing an enormus amount they wouldnt matter to their rating.

That is not the mass, the mass are freeloaders. Some rare polka trader can still share famous files (swarming?) or offer a superpeer to help the network. Traders of rare files ar no problem for the network, non-stop downloader without sharing are.

On the contrary a user could share one small and popular file like an ebook thats about 800k big upload it a hundred times and get a high rating for sharing just one file.

That's perfect. If a trader shares less files but very famous, he is doing a good job to the network!
What ideas do you have to improve gnutella?
