it could be enough. it would show interest/depth if students
investigated the situation & came up w/ their own ideas on it.

for this project in particular I guess the thing would be for FlashGot
to pass the metalink information to the download managers that support
metalink and for those that don't support metalink to just pass the
highest priority URI in the metalink.
