| | I wonder if this translation should have been rejected as it's "meaning only". The meaning is correct in my opinion. |

| | I think the trouble is on the last 2 lines
"it will ameliorate the gestion of the drop, reask...it's not a mod leecher
we just erase the ratio.this "
I have no idea what it means. |

| | "drop", "mod", "ratio" and "reask" are technical words, used by P2P emule developpers. |

| | What is a "mod of emule"?
What does "it's only the official" mean?
What is "the gestion of the drop"?
What is "reask"?
What is a "mod leecher"?
I rejected this because I don't have the slightest idea what it means. |

| | What is P2P emule? Are you sure these words are used in English? |

At the end of the article, there is description of a "mod".
"mod leecher" is a module that allows the user to download a lot of files without giving away his/her own files. IT's a kind of "cheater module".
I think that "gestion" is not good, it should be "management of the drop".
The other words (drop, reask) are technical. They are already in english in the french text.
For "it's only the official", it means that their own version of emule (their "mod" , is the pretty closed to the offical version but with few modifications. Maybe we should add "release" after "official". |

| | Oh...of course...
such big words used...my English was not good enough to recognise "ameliorate" and "gestion" tsk...tsk...
btw, I've found the original. The text submitted should end with "enlevé le Ratio." The next sentence is "Cette mule est.." which explains the appearance of "Ce" at the end.
----------
So here's my suggested change:
It's the same as the official version, except the addition of some small modifications...
it will improve the management of the Drop, the Reask...it's not a mod leecher
we just erase the Ratio.
-----------
Note:
Drop = to cancel a request
Reask = to repeat a request (ie. ask again)
Ratio = the Upload/Download ratio
Mod = adding a piece of software or hardware that modifies a product so that the particular product can be used in a way not intended by the original creator. Usually done on cars (addition of non-standard parts which are prohibited by law), or XBox/Playstation (so that the game console can accept pirated game disc)

| | What's an emule?
If "drop" is a verb, what's "the drop"?
Anyway, I will assume these are OK. I made a few edits, which I probably shouldn't have done because it's meaning only, but it just really didn't look like English. |

| | "drop" is a noun that refers to the "drop function", a short-form in emule. Similar to when we say "I googled", it means "I did a search on google"
emule is a current popular P2P software that works just like Napster, Audacity, Kazaar.
Perhaps you have heard of Bit Torrent, which is also a P2P software, but works on a radically different concept.
P2P refers to Peer-to-Peer. It is a class of softwares that allow their users to exchange files on their computers among themselves ... and free flow of data is the nightmare of copyrighted materials. |
