Hi Mark,

If the (download manager) daemon listens to the bittorrent port, then it 
can check current bittorrent downloads and decide what to do. I see no 
real problem since the daemon will catch the upload petition and if it 
is going to upload, it can trhough gnome-vfs (provided there is a module).

It will be easy to extend downman to do this, but again, I'm still 
waiting on gnome-network people to accept downman in.

See you.
