First of all I want to thank you – FreeRapid is truly a great project!

I often have trouble with slow proxies screwing up downloads (I have to re-get 3-4 files manually while the rest all finished hours ago).
How about an option like this:

X discard proxies if slower than ___5 kb/s after ___60 seconds, ___3 times
(one checkbox, three int-spinners)

When checked, this would remove a proxy if it was slower than 5 kb/s (on average!) after a minute for three times.
In other words: it would restart the download with a different proxy if after a minute the average transfer rate would be below 5 kb/s. If this happened three times the proxy would be deleted and never used again.

I wanted to implement this myself, but when I looked into the code I got lost, honestly.

I hope you find something like this to be a useful idea.
Keep up the good work!

I've implemented it as a quick and dirty hack. Works like a miracle!
