So what is the meaning of these values?:

• ready sources are the ones that can be tested immediatly (normally, you have to wait for 10 minutes before reconnections)
• good clients are the ones that are so good that you really want to reconnect to them before trying another source
• ~NotFound/Found/Chunk/Upload are the results of file requests to sources...
• A ranks is your queues-rank given by a client (usually an emule). They are grouped in 10 groups:

      if rank = 0 then 0
      if rank = 1 then 1
      if rank < 10 then 2
      if rank < 50 then 3
      if rank < 100 then 4
      if rank < 200 then 5
      if rank < 500 then 6
      if rank < 1000 then 7
      if rank < 1500 then 8 else 9

• Total number of sources is the sum of all sources Outside of Queues + good clients + ready sources + all waiting sources.
