Yeah, a more clever bandwidth/upload control functionality on p2p clients will render this type of attack useless:[list=a][*]limit on per-user upload slots (already implemented in most clients)[*]automatically create new upload slots if the defined maximum upload bandwidth is not used completely (eDonkey has this, no reason why other clients shouldn't adopt this)[*]more flexible queues, e.g. separate queues for diferent file types (movies, mp3s, ...)[/list=a]
