Updated to r14887, and the switch from the main download to the THEX download works beautifully. On three tests, using Bearshare "push" sources, it switched, and received the THEX data without a hitch. Now for the bad news - it's doesn't switch back once the THEX download is done. I can manually restart that download after the THEX has completed, or I can wait out the timeout and the download will restart on it's own. For common files, with many sources, this is not really a problem, but would be a bit of a nuisance for rarer files (especially when dealing with "push" sources, where there's a chance that the push route will be lost during that timeout). Something more troubling - I've seen two THEX downloads since updating where the THEX status is "Max number of downloads...", but when I check the main download, the same source shows a status of "HTTP 503 Full at...". I've also caught it once creating the THEX download from a "Queued..." source, which I had never seen before (I was under the impression that it only used "active" sources when deciding where to download the THEX data from).
