Thanks for the suggestions. I have dsl with 640K Up/640K Down. I tried
adjusting the upload limit but it didn't seem to help. I hoped I was just
missing the option with bittorrent to limit the download rate. I have now
moved the existing partial file to another machine where I can limit the
bandwidth for that machine.
Thanks,
