Well, I'd say experimental :)
Hence controversial, admittedly.

BTW, "If all clients get random chunks" is false, so far mldonkey didn't
really get chunks in random order!
So maybe this patch avoids some "bad cases", and introduce "other bad
cases", anyway it has been suggested a while ago by someone in
edonkey2000.com forums, it was fun to program, so I made the patch.

I wouldn't get angry if this particular patch didn't make it into the
official tree (same thing for the "upload file fairness", that is definitely
a hack).

It's strange that we're talking statistics, I just finished a patch that
reports some statistics!
Indeed, there's so much speculation about eMule blocking, it's about time
to get facts...
