Disagree .. as pointed out to you in the above link ... other p2p networks have suffered & even died as a result of people being queued for downloads for hours. People lose interest & look for better alternatives.

Easy quick answer you gave, but not as simple as that. For a start, ultrapeers would suffer due to the extra traffic. As you know ultrapeers (UPs) are needed for people to connect to the network. If UP's are tied up with people's downloading habits then others will struggle to even connect to the network. So whilst a few people are downloading hundreds of files at once, others would spend ages if not hours trying to connect to the network. Pleases a small minority but disadvantages the majority. It's within the gnutella network protocol of understanding between clients to keep the limits. LW pro has an exception of having a couple of extra hosts.

You do need to be careful if adjusting the gnutella code, else some clients may auto ban you due to the different behaviour. LW is set up to prevent mal-behaviour from other clients including LW itself. Generally happens after repeated behaviour. AFAIK
