I'll agree that ghome-bittorrent is kind of...um...basic. But it is
configurable. It takes, IIRC, the exact same command line options as
the basic bittorrent commandline client, which let you limit things
like max upload, max download, min port, max port, etc. You have to
edit the various places where it is launched from in order set the
command line options. One of those is the menu item in gnome, and
another is the mime association, firefox, I believe. Also you could
create a shell script or alias that passes those options to
gnome-bittorrent.
