This may be a case for not taking temporary space out of the space 
allocated for the datastore, but treating it as a separate allocation 
(with an optional limit specified in the datastore - either as a fixed 
amount, or as a % of free disk space).

People don't consider space permenantly occupied by Freenet the same way 
that they might consider space needed by Freenet to do things that they 
have asked it to do (like downloading a splitfile).  They should be able 
to indicate their allocations for permenant datastore and temporary 
space separately.
