The finished uploads list shows every packet downloaded by a multi-source client separately, cluttering the list.

Bug Description

The finished uploads list is currently almost useless, because anybody downloading from you using a multi-source client will fill it with hundreds of packets of the same file, all of which are listed separately on the list. This is, of course, not useful information to the user: the list should show only a single entry for any number of packets belonging to a single file sent to a single user. Presently this annoyance forces the user to IP-ban any downloaders using a multisource client without the packet size set to something reasonable (like 50 GB), and certain hubs have taken up the practice of banning anyone using a multisource client, period.

Recommended fix: change the the upload list to combine all the packets of the same file, sent to the same user, into a single entry on the list regardless of their amount.
