Multisourcing on WPN also seems to work very well. I did some testing on popular songs with multiple sources available and was very pleased to see how multiple sources were utilized to provide great download speeds, quite untypical for the old WinMX.
Let's hope that the search visibility and peer connectivity will remain good with the increasing popularity of 3.1 (as this version will certainly get popular) so that multiple sources will also be available for the more rare material.
Now, with multisourcing implemented, the WinMX community would also benefit from a change in its adopted upload control policy. With single source downloads it made sense to limit the number of concurrent uploads strictly to provide a decent bandwidth to each uploader even at the cost of longer queues. In a multisourced environment thinner individual upload streams are quite acceptable as they will be nicely compensated with better source availability and less queuing for the downloaders.
