I can reproduce this bug with Transmission 2.51. Here's a screencast showing it in action with a Kiwix webseed download:

I found this out when downloading the 720p version of the new Blender movie "Tears of Steel"[1] using Transmission resulted in my internet connection to become saturated, and all other torrent downloads to be interrupted (because 20 Mbit/s is more than the 750 KB/s I had limited Transmission to).
