Public bug reported: It seems like "webseeds" (where a file gets downloaded using http from a web server instead of using the bittorrent protocol) don't respect the download speed-settings the user sets in Transmission.
I found this out when downloading the 720p version of the new Blender movie "Tears of Steel"[1] using Transmission resulted in my internet connection to become saturated, and all other torrent downloads to be interrupted (because 20 Mbit/s is more than the 750 KB/s I had limited Transmission to).
