Download/upload shutdown fixes 
- Missing renamed to PendingDownload
- PendingDownload now only retries 3 times rather than 6 to dowload an
  object
- Added PendingUpload, replacing invQueueSize
- PendingUpload has both the "len" method (number of objects not
  uploaded) as well as "progress" method, which is a float from 0
  (nothing done) to 1 (all uploaded) which considers not only objects
  but also how many nodes they are uploaded to
- PendingUpload tracks when the object is successfully uploaded to the
  remote node instead of just adding an arbitrary time after they have
  been send the corresponding "inv"
- Network status tab's "Objects to be synced" shows the sum of
  PendingUpload and PendingDownload sizes

PyBitmessage

Bitmessage is a P2P communications 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, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs.

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
