A requested data range is blocked for downloading, you cannot download a certain datarange from multiple clients (by design of eMule, the protocol would allows this). So by requesting less blocks from slower clients we can request more blocks from faster uploading clients which results in a speed increase and faster file completion. |

− | + | An earlier implementation included "dropping" of sources that are too slow in order to allow faster clients to take over. Dropping sources is not always a good idea since sources that are slow now might become fast sources in a while (e.g. if you're on a trickle slot). | |

This is bad because block requesting might also fail if a client simply has no more blocks for us (No Needed Part Source), thus dropping a source would be very bad in such a situation and won't help at all. |
