How does the transfer rate limiter divide up my bandwidth?

Each simultaneous transfer using the same username will share the bandwidth specified for that user. For example, assume you have configured a user and specified they may download at 50KB/s. If there are 5 connections made logged in as that user, each connection should receive approximately 10KB/s. Remember, the actual transfer rate will be limited by your connection speed. The measurements listed in MyDiskServer are in bytes. A typical ADSL connection has 288KBits/s upload which equates to roughly 30KB/s.
