Upload Queue (Offline searhes spinoff)

[[KUN.NL]mepmuff]

Some concerns about the upload queue as described by Gargoyle in Offline Searches. (An in a new thread, so the other one doesn't go off topic too far ).

2 concerns:
1) Gargoyle, are you planning to include something that would exclude granted slots from the rotation? (would be nice to grant a slot once, and not for every file in a dir)
2) What about some settings concerning for like how long / how many MB a user may hog a slot?

Well, I was thinking of a time limit on the slots as well as a byte limitation, but BlackClaw pointed out (on the DC++ Devel Hub) that would penalize people with slow connections. I planned on something like 300 megabytes, which should be ~ 4 hours on my DSL, but configurable in the settings.

And I did plan for people who were granted/reserved slots to be exempt from any transfer limits.

The way I planned it didn't lock people into downloading only one file at a time, it was more like the "take a number" system at the deli at grocery stores here in the states. When it's your turn, download whatever you want until you're finished (unless the employee decides that you're asking for too much [with a sensible lower limit, like not one item] and asks to service the next person in line).
