  Download enabled, mistake was my own "greenhorn rendering-skill"

The dispersion_samples 120 and the "photon spacing 0.01  seemed to eat up
all my memory .
That was the whole problem. Maybe 120 is not the proper value for
dispersion_sample :-).

I should read the documentation before doing changes.

So download stays online, even though there is one new feature (minmize ...)
in the pipeline.

All testers welcome.
