 send stuff as fast as it can until he fills the queue, then check for ACK

 Yes, but after ''parallelism'' requests only. So it doesn't wait for the
 network latency just after sending the first request and so on ... it will
 read back the answer only after the 64th requests, so when the server
 starts to reply to the requests and that the requests are back to the
 client.

 Anyway, the main problem of this patch is the lasts 64th requests that
 aren't checked at the end of the download.

 Hope I'm clear

 Caeies.
