What I meant was, that limiting upload volume to reasonable high level (at the
'DoS' level, which we can define for system wide rule), compared to download
volume (and vice versa, however, bitTorrent should alleviate 'download' DoS).
So, if upload volume is much higher than download in very short time interval,
we could limit the upload volume. Furthermore, even a case of non-DoS attack, we
should do something about users, which stress system at the 'DoS level'.

Perhaps I used upload-download ratio term little incorrectly ;)
