new update today. now includes some autospeed feature that might be good. supposedly throttles upload/download based on ping within peer network
Author's Description
Automatically adjust global upload speed limit based on network latency.
This plugin pings a configurable IP address and uses the ping times to continually update the upload speed limit to maximise download speeds.
Windows & OSX only.
