through BitTorrent if your network’s other Internet applications
are not getting enough upstream bandwidth. 0 has the NSA
impose no restriction.
If you do not allow any uploads, (for example, you set a limit of 1
KB/s) you will not have a good standing in the BitTorrent
community.
Note: The settings for maximum download/upload rates
would not affect peers accessing the NSA from the
same LAN.

on the NSA. You can enter a number from 1 to 10.
Maximum Number of
Seeding Jobs
