*I, *know, *I'm, *would, *see, *you, *multiple, *be. (Ignoring grammar errors.)
That annoyed the hell out of me.

Multi-source will eventually happen, but (probably) not until someone provide a patch to arne. I wouldn't hold my breath.

As said before: With the current slot-architecture I don't really see the point with it. Or?

Until multi-source has been tested in the wild in a large scale (I don't count the current mods that implement multi-source), either way is plausible.

The sad thing is that these people are normally from the UK :( Oh well, it serves to not make any minor grammatical error that I might make not seem like such a big deal, and makes me look more intelligent also in comparison :D

Nobody is working on it, so the closest you can get to an answer is "not yet."

DC++ isn't planned the way your question supposes - there is no whiteboard of features that are going to be added. Just requests in bugzilla and notions in the heads of those who contribute code.

Segmenting is a horrible idea. If DC++ got that then the network would just grind to a complete halt. People would have 50 transfers and every transfer would be going at 1.5 kB/s. To do segmenting somebody would have to come up with a much more sophisticated model that what current clients are using.
