My ISP caps my upstream to 16 KBs, which a single connection indeed could be. Two downloaders get 6 K if they're lucky and four leechers go at 2 tops, something like that. When I allowed 8 or more lurkers, they usually never got their files.
Yeah, I suffer from a low upstream bandwidth cap too.
Yesterday I looked at the web interface of Freenet and saw there were no less than 400 connections! Speeds were of course mere bits per second...
This is being worked on. One of the developers (toad) is working on multiplexing (aka muxing), which would allow the node transmit several messages thru one connection simultaneously. After it's implemented, the node would need to keep only one connection open per node.
