StrongDC does have limiter. And it also has a tag. :roll:

Because the code is ugly and has had problems corrupting downloads in the past.

Other file share programs mannage to do it. Now that you use file Hashs to idenify files it shouldn't be too difficult to partition a file into download segments and be sure that each segment comes from the same file but a different user

It would be a killer feature, when you want to get a file quickly most people would love to be able to use two or three download slots to speed up the DL.

As long as transfers aren't 1000% secure I doubt it will be implemented. Multisource is not for a centralized p2p protocol, anyway (own opinion!).

It is feasible now, but that isn't in question. (Multi-source was part of the argument here when hashing was only a proposal.) (Implementing it in DC++ is already in the feature/bug tracker as Bug 378.)
