Edit...
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/BitTorrent/download.py
and change....
defaults = [
('max_uploads', None, 2,
....^ this was a 4....
.....and limit upload.....
('max_upload_rate', None, 6,
'maximum kB/s to upload at, 0 means no limit'),
I used 6 since my normal connection upload is only 12 to 13kB/s.
So use 50% of your upstream speed. Maybe even less if you need to
retain more upstream for your own use. I also limited max_uploads
since I can only provide 6kB/s upload. If you can spare more than 10
or 12kB/s, then I'd leave it on the default 4. The changes will be
effective after you re-start BT. I'm usin the GUI, just clicking on
the mytorrent-<userID>.torrent file in a file manager restarts BT.
For the weekend you could just leave your BT unlimited.
If you don't know your upstream speed, test here

Up speed will be in kilobits, divide by 8 to get kBytes/s.
