I've been saying this way back in the MC forums... Morpheus had NOTHING on eDonkey when it came to multiple source dowloads. It's beautiful how it works. And no leech control, though your effective download speed is largely determined by how fast you're uploading and how much you're sharing, which is pretty slow if you're just leeching.

WinMX promises to match eDonkey's multi-source, I've noticed my incomplete downloads being utilized, but not sure if this works WHILE downloading, or only when your download stops. Warrants some further testing at the least.
