reading in the forums one of the most popular requests is to lower the number of opened slots because for high speed lines it's *extremely* annoying to upload to 50+ Clients at a low speed, increasing the concurrent connections...
So I want to ask the devs to put in one/all of the following:
Slot focus:
Concentrate upload on as few clients as possible, automatically lowering the number of opened slots

Adjustable/automatically adjusting Clientdatarate:
This is a *very* small change and easy to code but it's pretty effective.
Raising the datarate from the default 3kB to e.g. 10kB for higher speed lines will save 2/3 of their opened slots and no bandwidth will be lost because if the upload isn't saturated more slots can still be opened

Also possible to add some kind of automatic detection, e.g.
3kB for <= 10kB UL ~ 3-4 Slots
5kB for <= 20kB UL ~ 4 Slots
9kB for <= 30kB UL ~ 3-4 Slots
and so on... so no one could "misconfigure" his client

Timelimit before opening a new slot:
It's *pretty* annoying that eMule currently opens a new slot if you get below the set uploadlimit for a very short time. I suggest adding a "open slot blocker" for ~5-15 seconds - if the upload is still not saturated then a new slot is opened

All features are already available in some mods and more or less usable so there would only be some testing required... it would really help the highspeed clients because having 250 active connections of which 200 are upload slots isn't a funny thing at all
