Download fixes 
- in corner cases, download request could have contained an incorrect
  request length. I haven't actually checked if this can be triggered
  though
- wait for downloading until anti intersection delay expires. Doesn't
  necessarily mean that it will always avoid peer's anti intersection
  delay, but it's close enough
- tracks last time an object was received. If it was too long time ago,
  reset the download request queue. This avoid situations like when a
  request gets ignored during the anti intersection delay, but it will
  keep thinking there are still pending requests as long as not all
  missing objects have been requested. This caused staggered download
  (request 1000 items, wait 1 minute, request 1000 more, wait another
  minute, ...)
- with these fixes, you should end up downloading as fast as your
  network and CPU allow
- best tested with trustedpeer

PyBitmessage

Bitmessage is a P2P communication protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication, which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed. BM aims to hide metadata from passive eavesdroppers like those ongoing warrantless wiretapping programs. Hence the sender and receiver of Bitmessages stay anonymous.

Development

Bitmessage is a collaborative project. You are welcome to submit pull requests although if you plan to put a non-trivial amount of work into coding new features, it is recommended that you first solicit feedback on the DevTalk pseudo-mailing list: BM-2D9QKN4teYRvoq2fyzpiftPh9WP9qggtzh
