Okay, in correct english, this paragraph should read:

Why? Downloading _from_ 1.x clients is not too bad, because if they get
no files downloaded but just files uploaded, they will switch faster.
This may sound greedy, but why not "rip" the bytes out of the 1.x users
to "convince" them to switch to the friendlier client? After all, they
are file sources, it would be stupid not to use them to download.

Since this leech-me-to-death affects only mldonkey-clients, no one from
the other clients should or could object.
