2. Do this automatically. My idea here is: At startup mldonkey asks for sources for all files up to a certain limit of total found sources (user's choice). Now all files without sources are being paused. Everytime a download is finished, this procedure is repeated (obeying the min_reconnect settings).Could this work?
I think this would be a good thing to implement...even if, as stated in a reply to this, that recent versions have lowered the amount of traffic per file, an intelligent pause/resume would still save traffic.
It would have to be slightly more intelligent though - e.g. if a rare chunk popped up it should resume that file. And it should probably go looking for rare chunks first, and maybe look again for those chunks every x minutes...
