Problem: bitcoin-qt disconnects from peer when downloading blocks with fast connection.

Steps to reproduce:
1. install a fresh copy bitcoin-qt on a computer, with no blocks saved
2. start bitcoin-qt with -connect= to a client with updated blockchain, and on a local area network (or any fast connection)
After downloading for a few seconds, the block downloading process will halt, and bitcoin (the one that's downloading) will be idle for a few minutes before restarting again.

I believe the problem is caused by this pull request: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/72/files , as setting maxreceivebuffer=500000 in bitcoin.conf resolves this issue.

Should be solved as there is no flood control disconnect anymore since a9d9f0f5f72ab1f9ebc2f76bfe3b7921fa2826d7
