Two things. One, it gives a method to know when a node is overloaded and
when it clears the condition. The second, is evidence from my own node that
it's not working. I'm running 6235. I have requesting nothing from freenet
other than the alinks on the frontpage.

inbound: 1645 nodes, 593481 attempts, 100151 accepted (16.88%), 852
successes (.85%)
outbound: 107 nodes, 986111 attempts

My node is accepting 16.9% of all queries, and then sending out 10 times as
many queries to find the data. I'm obviously causing quite a bit of traffic
on other nodes.
