Smile Feature request

First off, thanks for an excellent Gnutella client. Being able to download partials and wait for the rest to come up later is a great help in the community of hard-to-find music that I'm part of.

However, I've found that as a leaf, I'm connecting to WAAAAY too many Morpheus ultrapeers. It seems to me that every [EDIT] Morpheus client on the network is an ultrapeer. (An earlier thread on this explains a lot.) Thus, my connection list:

Hosts ... Client
267 ... Acquisition
265 ... LimeWire
165 ... LimeWire
82 ... LimeWire
68 ... LimeWire
10 ... Morpheus
5 ... Morpheus
3 ... Morpheus
2 ... Morpheus
1 ... Morpheus (ULTRAPEER, MY ****!)

Not to discriminate against anyone's client or anything, but this is awfully stupid. And what's worse, I have to cancel all these leechbunnies by hand. Could you implement one of these features in the next release:

A) Blocking certain clients as neighbours or
B) Blocking clients who don't have a certain number of hosts after a certain time

I, for one, would appreciate it.

Oh, and make it open-source too!
