Manage Transfers

The "manage transfers" option is very useful, but I'd like to see one minor change to it... Allow users to assign bandwidth based on available bandwidth, instead of total. This would allow people to transfer more than four files at a time.
For example, say you have 1000 bandwidth. Right now you can have four transfers of 250 each, two 250's and a 500, two 500's, or a single 1000.
If my suggestion were implemented, it would work like this: Your first transfer is set to 50% (500 BW), and you set your next one to 25% bandwidth - instead of doing nothing, it would take 25% of the remaining 500 bandwidth, so 125. The next one is set to 50% (50% of 375) so it would take 187.5. Your next transfer only needs 25% of that, so about 46.9 BW. 50% of that gives you 70 BW and your last transfer is set to 100%, taking the other 70 BW.
Basically, as the game grows to larger and larger scale, it makes sense to have more control over your transfers. This simple code-switch (I assume it wouldn't be too difficult to code) would allow us to have greater control over how fast we download, but to upload/download more than four things at once. Thoughts?

Yeah, it's a good idea I'm sure it will be improved, maybe some select box where you could distribute the band and split the band in more ways, we'll see.
Thanks for the suggestion.

maybe have a little box with numbers, and have you assign bandwidth? (based on available, and you could just remove all bandwidth down to 0.1)
