Download limit rate: Type a number here to restrict 2imum down- load rates.
Upload limit rate: Type a number here to restrict 2imum upload rates.
2.active torrents: Type a number here to limit the number of torrents that can download/upload simultaneously. Type zero for no limit.

Additionally, even after a download has completed, it may continue to use system resources if it is uploading, as long as the torrent is active.
