Okay, try setting inputBandwidthLimit=20480, outputBandwidthLimit=20480. Maybe there is a bug with the single overall limit code, it's not used much. Same effect?
Unless your network hardware is unreasonably slow, your ISP lied about your bandwidth, or you are encapsulating packets inside packets inside packets inside packets, "too many packets" does not make much sense. > > My DSL is 768kbdown, 256kbup.
