¤ Add remote download queueing

Downloads -
¤ Estimate Time Remaining for Downloads.
¤ More Agressive Swarm Downloading. (1, 2, 3)
¤ More Agressive Download resuming.
¤ "About User" (get):

¤ (Pause/Resume/Cancel/Find More Sources) options in right click, for Downloads.
¤ An indication that your download attempt was block by the "Anti Freeloader" option.

Uploads -
¤ Estimate Time Remaining for Uploads
¤ Special "Express" Upload slots for files 500k or less. (1)
¤ Turn off "upload limit reached" messages (1)

Anti-Freeloading -
¤ Implement a rating system which allows the exchange of host ratings peer-to-peer; for example, if host 'A' shares a file with host 'B', host 'B' could broadcast a positive rating across the network which includes the file size, download time, etc.; ratings would be kept on individual hosts and shared via the network.
¤ Add the following bandwith types: 56k, Dual ISDN, Cable/DSL, T1, T3.
¤ Ask the user during install if he/she wishes to "share files with people who dont" and if he/she says no, then set freeloader filter to "rarely" and minimum files as 10.
¤ If a user is 56k, dont mark them as a freeloader, and have upload and download caps that would keep a cable user from saying that he/she is 56k.
¤ If a user selects "Modem" as his/her choice of connection, then automatically set an unchangable total -download- bandwith cap of 10Kb/second.
¤ If a user selects "Dual ISDN" as his/her choice of connection, then automatically set an unchangable total -download- bandwith cap of 20Kb/second.
¤ If a user sets Start Upload slots to 0, Max Upload slots to 0, or Max Uploads per person to 0, then mark that person as a freeloader.
¤ Have an unchangable minimum of 1 "express" upload slot (for any bandwith)(see above, uploads).
¤ Display pop-up notices encouraging users to share if they're not.
