A couple more points: (1) Ciphertext should contain no evident structure, and thus should be incompressible. Detectable structure would allow for easier cryptanalysis, all else equal. Thus, ideally, C = compress(encrypt(P)) should be no more effective bandwidthwise than E = encrypt(P), and therefore...

Equality between DC's treatment of passive and active "ops" (those who either get OP in INF or are in $OpList, depending on protocol) should be subordinate to the equality of "ops" and non-"ops". Given that those two either conflict or require passive non-"ops" to be treated identically, in no case ...

Well, though I know of no Windows Mobile DC client, there is a Symbian one, and I don't see that in principle the tradeoffs would be that different in terms of bandwidth.

Well, okay . Though I find it less readable than the HTML 'diff' I already posted.

Though I've seen rather mixed reports of Netlimiter's efficacy and stability from multiple sources. I have little information about the others.

(1) "compatibility hashes" tend to reduce functionality to a lowest common denominator; for example, DC++ is apparently moving towards replacing rollback with TTH verification (see the advanced TTH resume), which requires hash constructions of a certain type and granularity to function tolerably.

I answered this already. Gnutella is (sometimes; it can use SHA1 too, but its Merkle trees are of Tiger form) compatible.
