It comes up quick because all recover_temp really does is look for 
files in temp/ and add them to the download list.

Until it at least finds one other source(to get the filename), the 
filename will be listed as the MD5 for the entire file, which is the 
same as the filename in the filesystem.

If there's another source, then as soon as the client gets the hashes 
for a block, your client sets about verifying that chunk.

  That's dependent upon the speed of your system(cpu and disk) and 
what compute_md4_delay(# of seconds to wait after computing a block) 
is.  While this is happening, you'll see blocks go to green and 
you'll also notice a -rather- high 'download rate'.
