How big is the actual need to throttle the downlink? Wouldn't this be
typically throttled as a side-effect of uplink limits?

Freenet's downstream needs are usually smaller than its upstream needs
(the ratio is 1:4 for my node, 25Gb store) and most internet connections
have capacity the other way around. I can imagine a downstream
bottleneck in case of heavy downloading, especially on a transient node.
But unless you're running a public gateway, this would be caused by the
actions of user himself, so let him have it.

Guess my point is: if it's a burden to keep this piece of code running,
better be sure that you're making someone happy with it :-)

Cheers,

Menno
