Caching of public hublist

Maybe it would be a good idea to let DC cache the current hublist, and show that cached list till the new one is fetched, the advantages are - at startup, you can immediately join a hub (if you need the new one, you can still wait as usual) - if the download fail, you still have the last version of ...

A simple ratio system would work best in my opinion, let every user keep a logfile where he keeps track of which users he downloaded from, and if that user wants to download from him, he get priority above a user who has no (or a less) record.

Being able to see up/down ratio of clients

When you are in a hub, it would be handy to see what the upload/download ratio of a user is, so when a user is slotbegging you are able to see if he is worth a slot or he is just a leecher. The info can be stored at the same place as the e-mail or description.
