[Twisted-Python] understanding IConsumer

[Glyph Lefkowitz]

The best way to come to a good understanding of IConsumer and IProducer is to write something that transfers large amounts of data over a slow, or heavily asymmetric link, and make sure its memory usage stays consistent; just implementing the methods on IConsumer won't be that illuminating.

I didn't find enough information on how to create a consumer.
