Isn't this precisely what limiting simultaneous connections does already? They are two different things, and I think they should be used in conjunction. Byte-by-byte transfers are inefficient, I agree. Would it not be better, then to do it packet-by-packet instead? It reduces the granularity, so it should still work OK, even it is marginaly more bursty.
