hmmm. i don't think i'd like that. I feel abuse coming from every direction with that. Furthermore the bandwith-challenged people amongst us could really suffer from such a feature.

Some of the functionality of that feature is probably mentioned in this forum or on the RFE tracker for DC++ on Sourceforge using the keyword of Ping.
