Thanx for your replies!
old_death: Correct. But why not let users decide how much they want to choke their internet connection? Shareaza allows the users to use saved settings that establishes far more socket connections than most routers can manage causing their internet to become un-responsive even if the bandwidth is not nearly used and this can be quite hard for average users to debug. But regarding the "MAX" option that's up to the software to decide? Hmm
raspopov: Prove is hard to supply. My internet is about 15/2 mbit which is seldomly maxed out by p2p downloads. If I have the monitor set to 100% and a download progressing at 50KB/s this download might instantaneously increase it's speed to 60KB/s or more by using the "MAX"-bandwidth option in the monitor. Also; I often use Shareaza to download recordings from my harddisk-recorder to my computer and these LAN-transfers are limited by the WAN-speed settings until I use the "MAX"-option which increases speed from ~1,5MB/s to 4,5MB/s. For transfers in excess of 10GB that's a lot of speed and time wasted for no reason. Would it be possible to make an expert-setting called something like "Always use max-bandwidth", "Remember MAX-bandwidth setting" or alike?
