The position of options is not important

Well, the bw limiter is really BASIC and therefore not 
very efficient:

void HTS_TOTAL_RECV_CHECK(int var) {
  if (HTS_STAT.HTS_TOTAL_RECV_STATE) { 
    if (HTS_STAT.HTS_TOTAL_RECV_STATE==3) { 
      var = min(var,32); 
      Sleep(250); 
    } else if (HTS_STAT.HTS_TOTAL_RECV_STATE==2) { 
      var = min(var,256); 
      Sleep(100); 
    } else { 
      var/=2; 
      if (var<=0) var=1; 
      Sleep(50); 
    } 
  }
}

This small routines is the current bw limiter, you can 
easily gues that this isn't sufficient for fast pipes. 
I will improve this soon, by using the realtime 
bandwidth estimation, and by using a more accurate 
system!
