Lightbulb Upload bandwidth, some improvements!

Hi,

I have set the bandwith throttle for uploads to 10 KB/s, and I have seen that Phex (0.5.6 and before) calculates the bandwith for each upload equally, so:

1 upload -> 10 KB/s (max.)
2 uploads -> 5 KB/s (max) each upload
and so on

This is not a good policy since many times one user will not reach 5 KB/s ever, while another may easily reach 10 KB/s. An improvement of the upload bandwith policy is to check the effective bandwidth for each upload. This way if one upload uses 1 KB/s, other uploads will still have 9 KB/s instead of 5 KB/s or less (if there's more than two downloads).

Thanks!
