Would it be too difficult to ensmarten the bandwidth throttling rules?
Each file downloads at 1000kb/s. This appears to be a hard, arbitrary limit. If two files are downloaded concurrently, the max speed between the two increases to 2000kb/s total, indicating bandwidth is going to waste due to arbitrary limits. I'm no IT expert, so I have no idea how complicated it would be to make ensure bandwidth is distributed fairly and efficiently using the number of concurrent files are being downloaded from the server as the condition the software takes into account when distributing bandwidth.
Rather, assuming 5000kb/s max upload bandwidth on server:
If one file being downloaded in total, file downloads @ 5000kb/s
If two files, both download @ 2500kb/s
etc.
Ideally, bandwidth should be appropriated based on IP addresses not # of files. (if IP address X is downloading 1 file, and IP address Y is downloading 9 files, IP X should receive 50% of the bandwidth, IP Y also receiving 50%, not IP X getting 10% bandwidth, IP Y getting 90%)
Again, I'm no IT expert and didn't read the many pages of replies in this thread, so feel free to tell me to shut the Hell up because I don't know what I'm talking about.
