Tomato torrent has an undocumented feature called "TCP fudge rate" or something. I'm not 100% sure what it does, but I think it delays the application from writing to the TCP stack. Thus you can artificially increase your download:upload ratio (some clients prevent you from downloading at a certain rate if your upload rate is capped). At least I've seen it never upload greater than 5k/s (while downloading at 100s of k/s), whenever I use it.
Though this isn't really ethical, it is a nifty feature if you have bandwidth restrictions (which I did for some time).
However tomato torrent seems to crash on me when I open torrents about 70% of the time, kind of strange.

I'm probably going to install it tonight. I'd appreciate any tips/advice...
OTOH, Bits on wheels is FREAK'IN FAST! I'm getting 150K down, something that never happened with Azureus. B.O.W. would make a great screen saver.
