Hi

For now the metalink plugin just parse the metalink file and create the 
downloads using the others plugins capabilities

for example:
if the urlList from the metalink files are for http/ftp protocols. metalink 
plugin calls the multisegment plugin to handle the list

it already has the power to check MD5-Checksums, but to do that we still need 
to implement inter-plugin comunication throw the DataSource interface

the idea is to use the already implemented features of others plugins like 
multisegment plugin and bittorrent in metalink. 

hope this helps

Manolito
