I think there is something wrong with the Upload Bandwith Limit in Limewire.

It divides the bandwidth into equal amounts of bandwidth, which means that if I set it to 40KB/s and have 4 people downloading.
no user can download more than 10KB/s even if the other three don't use their amount.
In practice it means that maybe only half of the 40KB/s will be used.

In WinMX the bandwidth is divided in a way so the 40KB/s always will be used. Why not so in Limewire?

Another problem is that uploads already started will not be affected by setting the upload bandwidth. It seems that each upload will remember what the Upload Bandwidth Limit was when the upload was started. That seems impractical to me.
