[tahoe-dev] [tahoe-lafs] #1170: does new-downloader perform badly for certain situations (such as today's Test Grid)?

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

Hey waitasecond. As far as I understand, Tahoe-LAFS v1.7.1 should
also—just like v1.8.0c2—start downloading all three shares from Greg's
server as soon as that server is the first responder to the DYHB:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/src/allmydata/immutable/download.py?rev=4579#L923

Am I misunderstanding? So the question of why 1.7.1 seems to download
2 or 3 times as fast as 1.8.0c2 on this grid remains open.
