Yes, that is part of the problem when connected via straws. But |

a dialup is entirely swamped even with --max_upload_rate 1. |

Now, if it can be limited to just, say, 32 or 64 sockets, with a |
11 |
reasonably good guarantee that no more nodes will try to connect |

while that limit is reached, I'd suspect it would work well even |
13 |
on such low bandwidth connections. |
