I'm currently handling 1200 downloads on my mldonkey and I allow a lot
of sources (1000) to be remembered per file:

  947 mrvn       0  156M  476 155M  1992 S     4.3 20.6  85:03 mldonkey

If you reduce the number of sources mldonkey remembers per file you
save a lot of ram. Also the numberof servers should be limited (I
currenlty have 11360 in the list).

Of cause if you reduce the resources you reduce performance somewhat.
