Because mldonkey is not a generic Gnutella client. On the contrary, it
uses the two-level architecture developped by some Gnutella clients,
such as Limewire, where all the clients connect to special clients,
called ultra-peers. Now, it also use other ultra-peers, such as
Gnucleus, MorpheusOS or MyNapster. This way, the bandwidth usage is
much lower than with a complete gnutella client.
