Quoting Christian Biere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.softs.gtk-gnutella.devel: :It's the number of file descriptors used for banning. Banning means the :connection will be hold (but ignored) until the remote side disconnects. This :is useful to avoid reconnect overhead caused by peers which went haywire or :hostile parties. It's not important though most of the time and you could :safely decrease it even to zero, same goes for the reserved number of file :descriptors. If you have a really low socket or file descriptor limit (less :than 512) and no way to increase it, I would certainly do this. The default :might be overkill anyway.
Note that when GTKG runs out of file descriptors, it attempts to close a pending banned conenction and retries the file descriptor allocation. When it can do that, you get a "yellow" warning. When there are no more banning descriptors to reuse and GTKG cannot allocate a file descriptor, you get the "red" warning. So you may leave the banning slots in place, they are not going to penalize you for their slots will be reused when GTKG needs to.
