=============

Here's the logic behind it:
If you tell the program how much bandwidth it can use (by throttling), it will make use of
it. Once transfers are in progress, the program should roll primary b/w back to the
allocated numbers and utilize the balance for transfers.
If you keep the program in the dark, it will not use more than the allocated bandwidth for
primary functions.
