I also noticed that it was hard to control the upload rate with
ctorrent and of course, confusing to use.

If you enter "btdownloadcurses.py" on the command line with no
arguments, you'll get a list of options, one of which is:
--max_upload_rate <arg>
maximum kB/s to upload at, 0 means no limit (defaults to 0)
This works quite well for me.
