I'm pretty sure that's what Jim meant by "being unobtrusive"; it surely had nothing to do with traffic-hiding. My current impression is that this is a useful addition for some limited scenarios, but not particularly more useful than --limit-rate already is. That's part of what makes it a good candidate as a plugin. - -- Micah J.
