20 byte for each RST makes 10.2 byte/sec. Not too much IMO. Though I guess you'll get more packets on a faster connection because the clients will try them first before bothering with the slow modem users.
Yeah, the problem is actually that the client in question has been claiming it was far faster than it actually was. (It was originally set up when the machine its running on lived on a 1Mbit line.) So, if you too feel like you're being DoSed by gnutella traffic, change how fast you tell people you are.
