As a just in case feature, file request packets such as map requests, should be delayed to something like 2-3 seconds, to prevent DoS.

How would that help prevent DoS attacks? It's an awfully big latency to add just because.

EOMain seems susceptible to this kind of attack...

As fun as it is hearing about other people's problems, they're not EOSERV's. I'll increase the forced delay between file requests a bit, though, at least as a precaution for now. File I/O is still handled in the main thread, so with enough people doing it, it could possibly lag the server.

Added in r337. Because of delays built in to the client, this has almost no impact on players.
Updated Status to CLOSED, FIXED
