Please try to submit the patches to arne so he can include them in the cvs or/and make them public somewhere. The client lib should be made os independent (i.e., do not use unstandard features from windoze). Target system / gui stuff goes into subdirs. Example: client/ - Generic os independent proto...

One problem that I've noticed with asking for a slot is that people just aren't infront of their comps.

Such random slot allocation algorithm is unfair to the downloaders. More reasonable would be that each request for a sl...
