Default New Idea: Prioritization

When I connect using LimeWire, I almost always get elected as an ultrapeer. I have a combined upload/download of around 700 KB/s (yes, kilobytes).

In the interest of rapid data dissemination, seems to me high speed hosts should get priority in downloading. This way, files can spread more quickly and more copies could be available for slower users.

Before kazaa took away the Linux client, I was upping around 20GB/day. But on Gnutella, I just can't seem to get the files.

Fact is, if I could get the files, I could also up them. I can support a large number of file uploads.
