After a while (few requeries for a file I guess) the requery wait time goes beyond 8k sec. shouldn't there be a limit to this?

This is used for not so popular files I guess (incrementing wait time) but I.M.H.O the way to hunt and bring rare content to the gnet is keep hunting as normal files (never increase the requery wait time if there's less then 1 host (that is busy). Then, when you "catch" the file and download it, there are already 2 copies of it...
