Why not cap download based on history? Say if someone habitually does not seed they take a hit to their download speed. Of course there's a few problems with keeping track of a history legitimately on some people, but the bulk of users would not know how to disable or manipulate such a thing. It would be a very simple change. Say every time they don't seed they take a 5 KB/s hit they can gain that back by seeding and never let the cap go below 5 KB or so? Dialup users for the most part can't really afford to seed if they intend to use their computer.
