I guess it depends who is uploading off you and at what speeds, and what speed connection you have. I have a reasonably slow adsl connection and usually set my upload limit to 5 files @ one per person. ....say 5 files @ 10KB/s = 50 KB/s equivalent to maxing out my upload speed of about 400 kb/s although I rarely see 5 hosts at 10 KB/s at my end! I adjust this a bit according to who is uploading, but it fits generally with what I see. Others will find totally different settings work for them. .... If I cut my hosts to 3 perhaps, I don't usually see uploads going faster. If I do I might leave that setting to allow a fast uploader a better speed.

I am not aware that halving your uploads will do anything to your downloads, unless you are on dial up modem. although I do find that having my uploads maxing out my bandwidth will not do the responsiveness of my computer (including the limewire display) much good and I may reduce the percentage bandwith accordingly if this is happening.
