unfortunately... I'm on ADSL and I have to keep mine around 25% because it bases my speed on my total connection... I've been capped at 15kb/s by my ISP so if I leave it at anything higher than 30% I have no bandwidth for uploads.... I leave 3 slots open for download and 1 per person... I figure that as long as the person is getting about 4-5kb/s that's enough speed... I figure most people should set their options so that it limits the number of connections for better speed... I would rather not connect to someone than have it d/l at 0.5kb/s...
