on windows i came accross a problem with seti and dcplusplus
when dcplusplus (DC++) 'hashs' files, i assume crc checks or some such seti 
is set higher than the hashing thread/process, so the hashing never gets 
done while seti is running, or takes an insane amount of time...

only noticed as my mate was moaning about it :) 

Outlook Express has the same problem. Seems that dcplusplus and OE and
Boinc are all set to the lowest priority and therefore compete for who
will defer to the others.
