Like the previous algorithm, the priority is only given on chunks with only
one source (in the current set of connected sources), but this is an
interesting improvement.

If you don't do it, you can only have slow downloaders :)
Maybe the algorithm could be modified to hide only chunks with n clients ?
This patch is only useful under high upload stress anyway...
