Hi
I believe it is /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/BitTorrent/download.py
It is on mine.
Had a quick look but could not see which line you edit (will look again when have more time and a sensible head on :-) )
Anyway I thought there was a switch you could add to the command line when you started it that enabled you to limit the max upload?
Can't remember what it was though!
Sorry!
btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 20 mytor<Tab>
Thanks, Tom. I tried something like that - I think I got the first bit right but not the last bit. It's fixed now, though. When I set it to 20 I had wildly fluctuating downloads - 40 at best, 4 at worst. I changed it to 12, which is what I used last time, and I'm getting better than 30 much of the time now.

I've got a 1536Kbit/384Kbit adsl connection. That translates to 160KB/40KB in bytes. So I use 1/2 for torrent uploads, 20KB/s. That leaves plenty for my connection to do other things while I'm seeding. You can get a good rating of your down/up rates in Kbytes here, http://www.dslreports.com/stest or otherwise, a good rule of thumb is to divide Kbit rates by 10, to get Kbyte rates.
If you use an upload rate that is the max (or even more) for your connection, it defeats the whole purpose of limiting upload. 1/2 seems to be about right. Using 20KB/s up, I got a steady 155KB/s down about 30 minutes into the 6CD torrent.
