Adding counters like 'blocks routed' or 'blocks routed in last
60secs' is easy enough, but it wont tell you if someone is at
the start of a big bulk download which is being routed through
your connection. Even if we could tell where we were in the
current file we dont know how many he (or possibly the hundreds
of others being routed through your connection) has queued up.

Its a bit like being an internet router except they dont have
a phone number to call when the plug gets pulled :-)
