gnut-0.4.25 has been released about ten days ago. It fully implements the gnutella protocol 0.4 and the 'last' command is useful to see what's going on when talking to BearShare servants, that open an HTTP connection just to say they are busy.

But you're forgetting that not everyone is uploading with max speed from you. Suppose the lucky guy that gets the connection is the one with the slow dial in modem who does the upload with a speed below 2k. Then the upload will be done in a time >5T and all the time you are wasting 80% of your upload bandwidth. And what if you have more than only one really hot file and the download began with that really big one. None would be able to get one of those cute tiny little files that otherwise could be spread all over the net before that first download is finished.

You are right. Then maybe it would be fine if the servents did adapt max_uploads to the lowest number that uses full (that is more than .9x) upload bandwidth.
This might be useful for ANY gnutella network servent. I think this should be given a try.

Thank you.
