Fast-track fixes for Comcast throttling

* Disable ratios: Currently I am attempting to evade the "pure seed" throttling of sandvine by removing a file from my complete set, then setting my DL speed to 1/k while having unlimited UL speed. Problem: uTorrent thinks the peers are being leeches, and accordingly isn't uploading very fast. This limitation should be removed at the basic level.

* Initial-seeding while downloading: A setting to force sequential piece uploading while downloading.

* Ignore RST: I assume RST has a legitimate purpose; find other ways to accomplish that purpose. If both uploader and downloader have a client with "ignore RST", they should be able to trade.

If you really want to seed, you should be able to use Scheduler seed-only mode instead of trying to limit download speed to 1 KiloBYTE/sec.

Limiting download speed that low chokes also upload-related ACKs -- that's another reason the upload speed takes a nosedive.

ACK is a packet to indicate acknowledgement (basically, to track whether a packet was received properly). ACK packets are needed for the end of the connection receiving the ACK to know whether they should continue, or whether they need to resend a previous packet.
