first up, the network bandwidth sitting only effects the outgoung bandwidth of file transfers, not incoming, i don't care what it sez in the FAQ. i've set mine to 1 and had screamming downloads.

second, if you aren't uploading and downloading files, your bandwidth is used to run the network, ALL YOUR BANDWIDTH, I've set it to 1 and it still eats 100% of my bandwidth.

If you don't wan't to use your bandwidth for network traffic, upload or download something, you will move to the edge of the network and xolox won't use up so much bandwidth, for network traffic, if you have files transfers going.

-your mileage may vary
