Tarod : a killer function suggestion
 

Hi

There's a missing function in emule. I think tarod should implement it in its mod. The idea is the following :

DL are not allways active. Some of the files I DL are quite never active when I have a look on my computer, but the DL is still going on. When I was still using ed2k, I wrote a piece of software that was drawing a graphical chart of DL progress (using RRDtool/MRTG). It was really helpful to evaluate when a DL should complete. This was drawing something like :

of course the data was always increasing, as a DL cant go back ;-)

This is really usefull for very rare files for wich DL are active only a few hours per week. It helps you to wait for the DL to complite or to cancel it when you are sure it will never complete.

Another easy way to do such developments would be to have an auto-export function in emule beeing able to export in a text file (CSV) for example, a description of the current file DL :

- file name
- ed2k hash
- file size
- current size DLed
etc...

This would be helpful to develop new statistical application (or to be able to publish your own list of DL/shares on a web page)
