Oops, seems as if the eDonkey network becomes political... or just
commercial?
Is there anybody out there knowing about the "harm" mldonkey does
or did to the network? Isn't it just a proof of the original protocol/
client/ server beeing poorly designed? Or does mldonkey its work
ineffectively in deed? If the last is the case, are there so
many mldonkey clients out there that this could do a harm?
Don't think so -- otherwise, fine, let's create a new protocol!

I followed that "lugdunum banned" discussion and really didn't
understand the problem. If mldonkey should really behave like a
DoS tool, why don't these guys cure their clients/servers? It's
just like the boring discussion on security holes -- should we
publish or not... From my point of view, there are only three
possible reasons:
a) There's personal hate against mldonkey or/and its creator(s),
b) there's no will to improve the protocol/server or
c) the jealous creators want to keep the network closed.
Assuming the last...
