Perhaps the confusion arises from the UI. Intuitively, it doesn't make a
clear separation between "when you are rate limiting globally" and "when
you are rate limiting granularly".

This confusion leads to the user, thinking they have limited the global
rate, when they've actually limited the rate of a particular download.
See Vuze. They have a global rate limiter in the bottom-right corner. To
limit on a file basis, it requires clicking on that file. That's more
intuitive and should be emulated in my opinion. I'm still using vuze,
but I may switch soon.

Mainly, it need to be abundantly clear whether you are "limiting
globally" or "limiting granularly", while your are doing it. Until this
is more clear, I suspect you'll have additional bug reports due to this
confusion. This is usability bug.
