[libtorrent] Speed limiting

[Bedeho Mender]

1) Is it correct that up/down speed limits can only be directly set on
individual torrents
(torrent_handle::set_upload/download_limit), not session wide, or on
individual peer connections?

2) Is it correct that this upload limit also applies to
peer_connection::send_buffer
?

You can set rate limits session wide and per torrent. In previous versions
of libtorrent you could also set rate limits on peers, but that feature was
removed.

The rate limits only apply to peers (so, yes). the DHT and tracker traffic
will count against the limit, but they're not subject to it. The DHT has
its own limit.
