Queue jumping is prevented by banning clients requesting a file too often.

Anyway, with large queues, clients don't stay connected:
* Emule clients with 2000 clients in their queue would not support it
* If you have a limitation on the number of connections you can open,
  you don't want to stay connected+queued in 100 sources, you really
  want to test other sources, and come back 10 minutes later.
