Partial file sharing

Allows downloading and uploading parts of file which is being currently downloaded by you or other users. This increases download speed and file expanding over network.


Download/Upload speed limiter

Avoids a full line usage and leaves some speed for web browsing. Realise, that download speed limit is dependent on upload speed limit which is dependent on amount of opened slots/hubs.


Automatic slow downloads disconnecting

Disconnects sources who speed is under certain value for certain time. If download speed during segmented downloading goes too low, the source is disconnected regardless the set value to avoid unnecessary slot usage.
