Why didn't I think of that?
BitTornado allows me to set uplink and downlink maximum rates, so if I get l leeched off I can always choose another upload speed rate. No problem there. But what bothered me about my last torrent was that while 5 people leeched off mercilessly, one peer sent me massive amounts of data, and whever he got anything my client found Interesting, I got it usually in a massive burst. Effectively I was leeching from this peer as my upload capacity went in something of a round-robin fashion. If only - I figured - I could send this fellow everything of interest, he could focus more on getting the pieces I don't have, thus allowing me to get a download rate over 3KB/s.
Hence my search for a BT anti-leeching mod for future downloads.
BitTornado also allows me to do other things too - like prioritising which file to focus on downloading first, so that in the case of groups of independent files (like a pack of Mpgs) I can have something to watch relatively quickly. In short, BitTornado kicks tail in the normal course.
The only reason I'm maybe going to give it up is to make more efficient use my upload capabilities.
