When I'm sufring I like the bandwidth to be lower. At night I want if wide open.
I need a quick way to change the speed from high to low.
Can we put the bandwidth slider at the bottom of the screen in the status bar?
Either a Horizontal bar or a vertical pop-up similar to the windows volume slider.

Also can we get limewire to detect other programs accessing the internet and automatically reduce to 50% bandwith? This would allow the program to go back to 100% when other programs aren't in use.

LimeWire already shuts its network I/O off for half a second when it's in the background so that other programs can use the network.
