I am trying to develop a client that runs on a set of rules.... ie. which file to download, which speed to take etc....

Has anyone done anything like this or can anyone give me some pointers of where to start?

Anyone written a client like this?

Cheers

eh...i think all clients capable of downloading are doing this... (if you mean swarming).

you can try to have a look at the limewire code (limewire.org) if you know Java. Else you can try to take a look at Shareazas code or the Gnucleus code.

Or do you mean, downloads, which are being splitted into different smaller files, before they get shared?

This could be a temporary solution for the filesize-limit, we experience (A file above 2GB not being shareable with LimeWire).

But: At the moment the GDF works at a solution, which should allow to discard teh filesize-limit completely.
