eMule 0.46c [NetF 0.3a (beta 13)]

Release high-lights:
- Sub Chunk Transfer (SCT) allows a client to share downloaded pieces of a part before it has completed. This feature is at the moment however far from complete and only works with NetF 0.3a beta 13 or later betas as sources. It can download crumbs from eDonkeys so it is possible to see the download part it in action even if there is no NetF clients available to download from.

Known issues:
- ED2K link creation doesn't work.

Changelog:

  (Hopefuly solves some problems with insane number upload slots)

  (Only supported between NetF 0.3a clients for now; hardcoded)
* Added: download of eDonkey Crumbs (remapped internaly to 180kB blocks)

* Changed: upload bandwidth throttler to repeat sending until no more data is accepted
* Changed: dynamic block requests now attempts to reduce the number of very small block requests

  (This makes the testing of SCT soo much simpler)

Das Ding klingt richtig interessant, auch wenn ich bei so einigen Sachen nicht ganz (oder nicht sicher bin, daß ich) verstehe, was das genau ist bzw. wie es genau wirkt. Aber den werde ich mir heute abend mal genauer ansehen.

Mit gespannten Grüßen
