Re: it's a hobble i don't think that's what i'm saying. i'm saying that once you look to make the swarm as efficient as possible, and consider seriously that each client wants in and out of the torrent as quickly as possible (you can't rely on some sense of sharing on the part of the client), you realize any shortcuts to get out quicker than a client's upload dictates is a detriment the the global efficiency.
basically, you are trunking off a segment of the bandwidth, and not necessarily giving back to the portions of the swarm that want it. of course it's less efficient.
