+				// The line just after that comment is an awful, horrible, terrible, TERRIBLE hack.
+				//
+				// Basically, the fix I did in order to fix the download freezes happens
+				// to cause situations in which a player number does not match
+				// the node number associated to that player.
+				// That is totally normal, there is absolutely *nothing* wrong with that.
+				// Really. Player 7 being tied to node 29, for instance, is totally fine.
+				//
+				// HOWEVER. A few (broken) parts of the netcode do the TERRIBLE mistake
+				// of mixing up the concepts of node and player, resulting in
+				// incorrect handling of cases where a player is tied to a node that has
+				// a different number (which is a totally normal case, or at least should be).
+				// This incorrect handling can go as far as literally
+				// anyone from joining your server at all, forever.
+				//
+				// Given those two facts, there are two options available
+				// in order to let this download freeze fix be:
+				//  1) Fix the broken parts that assume a node is a player or similar bullshit.
+				//  2) Change the part this comment is located at, so that any player who joins
+				//     is given the same number as their associated node.
+				//
+				// No need to say, 1) is by far the obvious best, whereas 2) is a terrible hack.
+				// Unfortunately, after trying 1), I most likely didn't manage to find all
+				// of those broken parts, and thus 2) has become the only safe option that remains.
+				//
+				// So I did this hack.
+				//
+				// If it isn't clear enough, in order to get rid of this ugly hack,
+				// you will have to fix all parts of the netcode that
+				// make a confusion between nodes and players.
+				//
+				// And if it STILL isn't clear enough, a node and a player
+				// is NOT the same thing. Never. NEVER. *NEVER*.
+				//
+				// And if someday you make the terrible mistake of
+				// daring to have the unforgivable idea to try thinking
+				// that a node might possibly be the same as a player,
+				// or that a player should have the same number as its node,
+				// be sure that I will somehow know about it and
+				// hunt you down tirelessly and make you regret it,
+				// even if you live on the other side of the world.
