-===Speed===
+----
-What about having a Speed preference in Options? If the default settings can't be optimized for everybody on install, have another tab with a slider or radio buttons for 'My Computer Speed' and 'My Internet Connection Speed'. Sliders would make these useful settings easy to change w/o the need to muck about in about:config.

-===Throttle Preference===
-I would like to see a preference reflecting a new ability (that needs to be written into Firefox) to throttle all downloads. When downloading a large file or several files at my maximum bandwidth, I cannot browse the web effectively. There should be an option to cap maximum download at 80% of capacity, for example, allowing the other 20% to be used for normal browsing. This could be done with a slider as well.
