Thanks, Paul!

This is a great tip, one I was not aware of. I capped my upload speed at 
10Kb/sec, and in minutes my download speed jumped from the low teens to 
50Kb/sec. This is much better! Now I don't have to wonder where my DSL speeds 
disappeared to. 

This info should be added to the download page, while we're all encouraging 
people to use BitTorrent. Just have to remember to reset the upload cap when 
the download is complete.

Sincerely,

Mike McCallister
