[Mldonkey-users] Future enhancement

[Andrzej Bursztynski]

While watching the discussion about user management and Sergio's example of
local emule/mldonkey network shared with his sister while trying our different
eMule mods - another idea came to mind - why not something like "LANCAST" (some
mods like eMule Plus 1.b and supposedly LoveLace has got it):

Lancast is a feature which enables eMule Plus to work better on a LAN. It makes
eMule Plus broadcast (UDP multicast) its shares onto the LAN. Other lancast
emules clients will listen for these broadcasts and download files at a much
faster speeds using there private ip addresses. After enabling this feature LAN
transfers will start in a matter of mins/seconds. Lancast doesn't break eMule
Plus as a p2p application it just adds to it, promotes more sharing and saves
upload and download bandwidth in LAN enviroments.


That would let perfect user separation while accelarating the download
speed (and saving Internet link bandwidth).
