Perhaps a friend slot *lock* can be an option? Seems to me that giving a friend a single chunk isn't really doing much for them, whereas giving them priority for the entire time they are on the queue for that file would help them get it faster, or maybe some sort of timer or data limit or other reset trigger?
I find this very helpfull when you want to release a file and when you are the only source available on the network. With a friend slot lock (whatever your friend downlod from you, what file or even if he disconnect/reconnect), i could give a full file to a friend very fast and then it would be easier for other people having interrest in this file to find it and get it with 2 valid sources. Seeing a file with parts non-available (well, seeing , i mean for the 1.x users ;) makes a lot of people stop downloading it.
What's your idea about this ?

I think that all friend-related feature requests should be dropped. And for a very simple reason - you can't identify you friends. You can't use nick (pretty obvious), you can't use ip - those changes too.

Friendslot is there and it's ok sometimes. Those using it have to face the risk of not being the guy it shuould.

Well, what is this file about then ?
~/.aMule/preferences.dat: Contains the user hash, which is a hash value the uniquely identifies you in the ED2K network and which is used to avoid cheating with credits and with friends lists.

Contents of this file is not validated for friend-issues. It exists only for credit system

You can check the userhash when adding a friend, lfroen.
-
You mean manually check MD4 hash - you can't be serious about that.

There's a place for user hash on friend add afaik (was it removed?)
