Hi, I just joined the Group =) I love the MAGNET-URI, and Bitzi, and Shareaza. Why isn't there support for multiple sources for links? Is that coming soon?...
PROBLEM: When a user clicks a MAGNET link from a website, which adds itself as a source (xs), it starts up in the Gnutella client and begins downloading from...
