Ok a basic version of this has already been implemented, but we still need to 
do rating/tagging/commenting... :)

For this we already have a basic, but not yet good tested version there, it's 
called DataSourceFactory and it manages multiple datasource for the transfer 
plugin, however we need to test that and to write the Http/Ftp DataSource 
(will be done in Multithreaded-Plugin)... however, we should work together on 
this :) The first implementation is planned on Metalink-Plugin for KDE 4.2 :)
Anyway, this goes together with 7) :)
