Traffic managed on downstream not upstream

I am little confused about this, 2 days ago I left my torrents running and forgot to change the speeds to avoid been STM'd and when I got back my download speed was 5Mb which is the STM'd download speed which is fine, however my upload speed remainined the same 2Mb, I was under the impression once you are traffic managed your downstream and upstream is reduced by 75% or has it changed that if you hit the downstream limit only your downstream is affected and if you hit the upload limit only upstream is limited.

So how do you know the OP's torrents were illegal?

What a stupid and pointless remark to say nothing about being completely off topic.

If you didn't occasional make me laugh I would put you on ignore.

OK produce the evidence that the torrents that person was sharing were illegal or retract your highly inaccurate and potentially libelous statement.

A good job then that you're not a team member as we don't ban members for what they do outside of the forum
