Exclamation Fascist policy encouraging detrimental user behaviour

I am on a modem connection.

If I want to search better, on another client I can temporarily increase my number of connections, which mega-exponentially increases number of hosts reachable by my PC (for non-ultrapeer arrangements it jumps from ~4000 to ~1000000 simply by increasing number of connections from 4 to 8!)

On this other client, I often set number of hosts to 10 and do a search, then when the results I want are in, I set it back to 4 and go ahead and download.

I tried this on limey, only to be told authoratatively that my connection is too slow.

Well, if it's so smart, why have the control there at all?!

Anyway, my point is this, in order to increase the setting, I have to temporarily tell limewater that my modem is a DSL line or something, which means users wanting to download my files during this transitional period will become sorely disappointed!

Please fix limepowderdust to enable user configuration of this feature .. just turn the message into a warning, instead of an overriding thigh-boot wearing goose-stepping Hitler of a beast.

That way we will have fewer people claiming to be fast when they are not. I reckon.
