The "View as text" menu item in the search results window already does something similar. You should have a look at that code for ideas.

I found tis line:

QueueManager::getInstance()->add(si->sr->getFile(), si->sr->getSize(), si->sr->getUser(), tgt + si->fileName);

I will try to change si->sr->getSize() to 5kB.

That won't work and there's no single-call solution to fit your needs.

It works. But if user don't have free slots, it writes "No Slots Available" and it don't use slots for small files.

I have made feature to extract info from MP3. It works very well. It downloads only 5 bytes of file insted of complete file.

Tried a source with compressed transfers disabled or one that doesn't support it, like any non-dc++ client?

An idea similar to this was suggested to me a few days ago here as a feature request for my CDM.
My main concern with this was the no slots available problem that big muscle seems to be having.

It's the remote client that decides if its a small file or not i guess, but if you can get it to work i'd be very interested :)

The file itself isn't small, although the segment you want is. If DC++ made the "small file" determination based on the requested section of a file, someone could easily get whole files off of you if they segmented their requests. ;-)
