Hi, I think rather than have people decide to either have always slow bandwidth or always full bandwith open to downloaders, a choice is better for the gnutella network as a whole. I suggest that in the preferences block inside gtk-gnutella settings that time dependent bandwidth bandwith control be possible. As a for instance: A person who is gone during the normal work day, and sleeping normal hours may only have hands on his computer from 7pm-10pm. So, he could set the GTK-Gnutella bandwith controls for: unregulated hours - Full bandwidth both in and out available to gtk-gnutell 10PM-7PM or perhaps easier to understand: regulated hours 7PM-10PM enable bandwidth controls. Such a setting would allow a user to leave full bandwith open to gtk-gnutella most of the time and only limit bandwidth during certain hours. I think this would be good for the gnutella network as a whole because it would curb the tendency of users to limit gtk-gnutella bandwidth 24/7. Jim |
