It is designed to better react to changing network conditions and throttle itself back, even with other TCP connections active, such as the user doing video streaming or VoIP while torrenting." It'd be nice for always-on devices utilizing P2P streaming protocols to constantly be contributing back to the network, but doing so non-obtrusively so that other services in the home are unaffected. -- Tony Arcieri medioh.com
