Current MLDonkey loads web_infos files only if the local copy is
older than the remote file.

"think it'd be far more user-friendly if these "invisible" downloads were more apparent to the user..."

With web_infos filled with some files take a look at the logfile
to see the loading of these files on startup and during core run.

Well, trouble-shooting why a dialup connection is going slower than usual is hard to determine if mldonkey has decided to update its ip-blocking lists (4-5 megabytes?). Instead of checking which packets flow in and out of a computer, it might be easier for mldonkey to let you monitor what its downloading rather than hiding this from the user... I could clean out the web_infos but then I'd have to manually update those files or create some kind of system that tells mldonkey to download the lists manually and then have it execute a script that parses the extension of the file and then has mldonkey load the list with the appropriate commands (probably after copying the file to the main mldonkey directory). However, I think it'd be far more user-friendly if these "invisible" downloads were more apparent to the user...

These changes might not be trivial and, of course, I may be overlooking something -- but I truly think that knowing what mldonkey is doing (especially when its bandwidth-related) should be easier to determine, plus, this type of bandwidth doesn't (I think...) show up in the GUIs and may not even be limited to the specified max-bandwidth settings...

I don´t really understand your problem. If you don´t want to have
files downloaded by MLDonkey besides P2P downloads just clean web_infos.

With a slow connection can these downloads flood the connection? Maybe we can better monitor these downloads if they downloaded through the http plugin or something similar...
