I'm getting lots and lots of Timeouts and Overloads in my
stranger-status details, although not too many BackOffs. After over an
hour of uptime, my bandwidth usage hasn't really stabilized. Even the
upload speeds, which used to be quite stable around my 15KB/s limit,
are very bumpy, quite often near 2KB/s. Same with my download speeds.
(Although, at least they aren't flooding :p.)

In general, whenever I look at my strangers, most of them will be:
FatalTimeout/SENDER_DIED
FatalTimeout/TransferFailedInsert
FatalTimeout/AfterInsertAcceptedTimeout
FatalTimeout/ForwardRejectedOverload2

I've seen a bunch of InsertTimeoutNoFinalAck, TransferFailedRequest
(5,13).

Is this abnormal, or normal congenstion control?

I also see that the ping times to my strangers are very high, 300ms-1000
+ms, even though I can ping google under 20ms. I don't know if this is
abnormal, or perhaps all my peers are on the other side of the planet,
or perhaps the value is calculated differently.

Also, perhaps unrelated, why was I being connected to 11 peers, with a
15KB/s connection? Isn't that too high? Although, even after I halved
this, nothing much changed.
