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! ;)

If Gnucleus wasnt open source there would not be this bugging Morpheus problem. If Shareaza would be opensource, everyone would grab that code, rename everything from Shareaza to their own client name, stick it ful with ADs and publish it as a *brand new* client, oh gosh.

However Mike,
It would be cool if you publish the code if you plan to discontinue it. ;)
