Upload speed
How to send upload speed in $MyInfo a receive it in client on the other side ?
It could show upload speed of user and not only his connection type.

You mean the type of connection the user has specified (56K, cable, dsl, t1,etc) ? If so, thats compleatly worthless since the user can set it to whatever they want.
If you mean, sending the upload limit that the client has specified, then once again its not needed because DC++ does not support uplaod limiting and the other mods that do, will likely not send the info via MyINFO when they're not showing the B:/L: tag.
If you're talking about the users calculated upload speed, then that *might* be useful just to display in the clients tag. Course once again, it can be faked so why bother. Then another issue will arrise is how their maximum upload speed it determined. Use an external testing source (then you run into problems of people around the world) or some sort of average of the client.
Overall, the feature is not needed / useful.

have a look at this. Its a hub specific client i made. It has extra columns in user list for average upload rate per slot and total uploaded. It sends the extra info in the $MyINFO. a compatible client can receive this and display it in user list.
