Cool multi source

Then a client should do it!!! There are 2 things I don't like about gnutella.

1) I was looking for bagpipes music the other days and tried something like 30 transfers yet none worked. I went in another program (wich doesn't use gnutella net) and got 2 mp3s right away.

that, we cannot do anyhing but

2) top speed around 200kbps while multi source downloads reach 1.6Mbps often

exact same file is easy to see: when the file is "gnutella forum movie part 1_portchop.avi" and 368520211kb" another file just could not have same name & size!! maybe the program could just prompt me and ask :
"Is this the same file and would you like it to be added to the download as another source or something?"

If there are any programmers working for a gnutella client out there please tell me this will be done! I can only program SOME basic (yep, old gw-basic) so I guess it is a lot more complicated to add this kind of feature to a program but still I don't think it would take 40hours...especially when there's allready a resume feature in the program!
