Selective "Upload limiting" should work well if the new load-balancing system (proposed on @freenet-dev, with queues and "tit-for-tat"), gets implemented since this means that peers would also scale back to some degree if you do. Also, it would hurt your performance if you limit too much, which is a good incentive not to overdo it. I also think its a good ida, btw. It is your bandwidth and peers, you should be able to control it! The network and the other peers should be able to handle any setting you can throw at it, basically. Any system like this though, would need, imo, to let all unused bandwidth be used by other peers if possible so that bandwidth isnt "wated" because your friends arent online, or using their alloted quota. --- John B?ckstrand
