Mine was downloading at ~300 kB/s and uploading around ~450 kB/s 
since 14:00 MST, I noticed that I hadn't throttled it until 
about 5 minutes ago, I have since throttled it to 70 kB/s up 
and 70 kB/s down. My download will be done in 10 min, but the 
uploads will continue until 100% has been uploaded. It's nice being 
a Network administrator on a multi-homed 100 Mb/s fibre connected 
network. ;^) If we had a flat rate for usage I would leave it on 
for longer, but we pay per GB and incrementally on the 95 percentile 
of throughput.
