Why not just unignore it? Is it so difficult to look if a file has
enough sources before we enqueue new ones?

> Queue[Ready Sources]: 240177 sources

Aren't these "new sources" never asked? There is a function in
donkeySources1.ml called need_new_sources:

    let need_new_sources _ = 
      Fifo.length clients_queue < !!max_clients_per_second * 600

It should prevent asking for new sources if there are already
enough. I guess the flood of new sources with popular files comes from
mldonkey-source-propagation. We get these without asking.
