You're right, this part of the specs aren't currently implemented in
mldonkey (since it doesn't have an upload queue).

My guess is that you just have to reconnect to the client, the protocol
between the two peers will be the same, but that time when received
the data transfer request, instead of queueing the peer (and sending a
queueing notification), since the client has an upload slot assigned, you
start uploading (just like if it came when they were free slots available
for uploading immediately).

It seems that mldonkey developed several protocol diagnostic/debugging tools
(in subdir "tools"), but they aren't documented (and I never tried protocol
reverse engineering so far)...
