Come on, what I'm suggesting is of course a *temporary solution*.

Overnet support will improve when mldonkey gets more time to fix it;
Also, if Overnet authors could answer his questions, I'm sure it would
help a lot to get the things right. But it's not done yet.

Right know, if you enable the download-only Overnet support, you're
not testing upload code, you're testing Overnet users' nerves.

BTW, you only quoted half of my message, the second half was about
running the current Overnet support of mldonkey 2 *and* giving back to
the Overnet network.

How boring, you should obviously sit back and relax too, I never said
mldonkey should stop developing its Overnet support.

Right, they have enough problems like that. How to troubleshoot
performance problems if new external facts can skew your analysis ?

You ask the "right to develop", fine, but take it easy on Overnet
developers too.
