	There's an option to limit the upload rate.  Type "btdownloadcurses.py"
and you'll get the usage.  It's something obvious like "--max-ul-rate N"
where N is in kilobytes.

	Of course, I have an older "btdownloadgui.py" which gives absolutly no
help at all :-(.

	Nevertheless I just that very option today at work (on the ...curses.py
version).
