The users themselves set this. I've got DSL and tend to have flexible
rules for users in my DL queue who are leeches, and one of the factors
I consider is the user's speed. If the user has only a paltry few
small files, and is trying to DL an .avi, I may be more understanding
if he's a 56K user than one with a T3+ connection. The question I've
always had is what's the deal with those users claiming 14.4, 28.8 or
33.3?
