The reason why it is implemented as it is is to cap the bandwith freenet
uses in a second. If I ran my freenet node at full throttle, it'd make any
other experience on the internet connection very difficult. The bandwith
limit, as implemented, means that it never hits my max bandwith, and using
the internet connection is a joy for all.

That would do it :p

Keep the original interface intact. Build a StoredBandwith on top of
Bandwtih where you can trickle in the 800 bytes/sec but it will still only
allow bursts up to maxBandwith, and I think we'd all be happy then. you'd
get your 2gb max, and i'd get a non-saturated internet connection.
