even better than blacklisting would be accepting as many chunks as 
possible, but at some extremely slow bandwidth, lets say 100B/s, so as 
to limit the damage that can be done to the swarm and network 
performance as a whole by this particular asshole. sure, it costs you a 
connection, but it is "the right thing to do"... if the bad client 
eventually gives up, then blacklist it.
