In a typical gnutella situation, if you had a girlfriend (that's a big if, hee hee) that serves you or uses a client and had a choice to use her port or her slot, which would you pick? Would her slot be more likely open or her port? and isn't each slot taking up a port? so a slot is a port in reality? don't both work about the same? can't you simply upload to both? maybe a little to each one? Could she be just a upload slut? or would you say she's a slot slut when she takes up all the ports?
(not directed at any one person here, but if you feel it applies that's your problem)
