How much is that affecting you?

LimeWire should allocate additional upload slots automatically, if you still have free upload speed left, so a slowpoke shouldn't do much damage.

It is also possible, that a slowpoke is someone, who downloads the file from many sources at once, so that the 1Mbit cable he uses gets divided among a few hundred sources (which isn't possible with LW, afaik, because it seems to only ose about 6 connectsions on my DSL-connection).

Instead of moving a slowpoke back in the queue, LimeWire just opens a new slot, which still lets slow users download from you, but doesn't allow them to hog all slots and waste bandwidth.
