How To Prevent Using 2 Slots From One User

[markd 0]

When I'm in several hubs, my client often downloads files from one user through two or more hubs, using an equal number of slots from that person.

In my situation, these users use the same nick on several hubs, but it also happens when they use different nicks. They also use a static port for their router setup, and so do I. Still I keep downloading multiple files from a single user, and it annoys them a lot.

Is there a way to prevent this from happening ?

The only possibility is to change the protocol. Current NMDC protocol is old and it lacks any kind of user identification (identification by nick is nothing correct and usable). Proper solution would be visiting ADC hubs only. Everything which can be done for NMDC would only be a workaround which could be easily exploited by malicious users. However, I have one solution in my mind but I don't know if I ever implement it, because it has no sense to develop for such old protocol and people should finally realize that there alternates which could fix their problems.
