Good idea, but is this necessary ? From Mandrake Club, the link https://www.mandrakeclub.com/torrent.php?f_=xxxxx.torrent calls Bittorrent. Bittorrent-shadowsclient is very nice and should replace the old version. Some features should be include: - a link to http://torrent.mandrakesoft.com:6969/ - an indication about the overall requested download bandwith and the available upload bandwith. - a message or a vu-meter to show the balance between upload and download. When download is over, ask for don't stop upload. > My fourth wish is perhaps a detail but is it possible to have an option to > synchronize the time with a NTP regularly in the "date and time" module of > MCC ? (in fact use a ntp command with cron or at internet connection). Never call a ntp server with cron! This is the best way to overload a ntp server if several people do that. Instead, use ntpd which is provided to call the server when needed and does the best drift compensation for local clocks. The first aim of ntpd is to make your time accurate, which is absolutely necessary to become a server... if needed. > PS: Raaah ! I speak english like Babelfish ! I so!
