encrypted with 256 bit. This makes sharing more safely because it's (nearly) impossible for
outsiders to see what you are sharing.

bzip2:
Bzip2 is a better compression than the compression eMule usually uses. So you will need a smaller
amount of data to download to complete the same file, which means your downloads will be
completed faster.

Removed showing of IPs:
By not showing IPs of other Clients eMule Applejuice gives it's users more privacy and
security.

If this meant we show only one Chunk to the Client, we will also show him one Chunk with second
fewest sources and he not already has.
We will also show him all Chunks he already has.
Of course files will always be complete available in the ed2k netwrok because all chunks
which are only shared by us are always chunks with fewest (0) sources.
Applejuice Community Clients will always see all Chunks.

Reduced Community Sharing
---> You can not use the Applejuice Creditsystem. Your Community Upload will be 50%.
Disable Applejuice Community:
---> You won't get boosted from other Applejuice Community Clients and you won't boost them too.

Max Transfer Difference per Client in MB:
You can enable this as a part of Upload Management. When it's enabled you can set a Transfer Difference per Client (his Dowload from
us minus his Upload to us) and every client who reached this Difference won't get in our Queue until he's under this limit again.

Applejuice Credits your Download costs:
With Applejuice Creditdownload you can "buy" immediately Upload from other Community Clients if
you have enough Credits to buy a Slot in his Upload.
If Creditdownload is enabled you will pay a certain amount of Credits for each MB you download
from a Community Client. How many Credits you maximal pay is automatically set depending
on how many Applejuice Credits you have and your average Uploadrate. This value can be between 1 and
80 Credits per MB. How many Credits you really have to pay is different at each Client who gives you
an Uploadslot. You will only pay as much as necessary to get an Uploadslot (0.1 Credits more than the
highest Client in his Queue). So the real value is mostly between 1 and 4.

Applejuice Credits for your Upload:
normal Clients: 1MB -> 0.01 Credits
Community Clients: 1MB -> 0.8 Credits
Applejuice Credit Uploads: 0.8 Credits + 10% of the other Clients Download-Creditfactor
For every MB you upload of a complete File you get +0.1 Credits if the downloading Client is a
Community Client (also Applejuice Credit Uploads).
