Length is determined by the "kicktime" cvar, in minutes. By default, this is set to 10, but I'm willing to adjust this. Only applies to manual kicks (in the future, maybe also name filter kicks).
The timestamp for the unban time is even saved in ban.txt, so long-term temporary bans are completely possible. (I checked, you can attempt to ban someone for up to 1902 years if you really want to.)

- Properly call D_SaveBan after remote bans. Bans are no longer saved in the ban command and instead wait for the actual kick to process, since before they were split between the two, which is what caused the discrepancy.

-If the server tries to kick a joiner who is downloading the game state, they will get a timeout instead, because a regular kick would only happen once the game state has been downloaded
-Added a timeout for player ticcmd packets, again to prevent freezes to happen in some cases
-File/game state downloading is now faster, the speed is controlled by the "downloadspeed" cvar, in packets per tic
-The reason is now properly shown when the server refuses connection
-Changed the default values of "nettimeout" to 10 seconds (previously 15) and "maxsend" to 4 MB (previously 1)
-Added a "noticedownload" cvar that displays a message in the server console when someone is downloading a file
Do we really need to keep it around? If not, I say get rid of it. It seems like useless clutter that is just going to confuse people who are trying to understand the source code.
