Size difference in bytes between one zone (180 kBytes) and its compressed

5666: New option upload_complete_chunks (TripleM)
- default false, if true, each client is allowed to complete only one chunk,
independent, if it is empty or partial. this setting overrides
upload_full_chunks and dynamic_upload_lifetime, but is, as a failsafe,
limited by upload_lifetime (should be set reasonable high)
5664: EDK: Avoid uploading data more than due
to eMules rotating block requests (pango)
5596: EDK: New option upload_full_chunks (thx to TripleM)
- If the new option upload_full_chunks is set to true, each client is
allowed to receive one chunk, this setting overrides upload_lifetime.
Well, not exactly one chunk. eMule has this code in opcode.h:
#define SESSIONMAXTRANS (PARTSIZE+20*1024) //
"Try to send complete chunks" always sends this amount of data
MLdonkey now does the same, if upload_full_chunks is true and client A got
9728000+20*1024 bytes during the current session its upload slot will be
revoked unless pending slots are empty.
