Download rate capped

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Download any kind of movie and watch it inside your browser
(Hint: Apple HD Trailers obviously work best due to their size)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Although I'm sitting on an uncapped 16Mbit connection gecko-mediaplayer
only uses about 2Mbit to preload/buffer the movie I am about to watch. Once
the preloading/buffering has finished and the movie is actually running
(while still being loaded in the background) it suddenly jumps from 2Mbit
to 16Mbit for buffering the rest of the movie.

Obviously, gecko-mediaplayer should be utilizing all the available
bandwidth from the start.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Running on Lunar Linux, GTK+-2 2.12.11, gnome-mplayer 0.6.3, MPlayer from
SVN and gecko-mediaplayer 0.6.3.

There is no cap in the code, there is a initial cache size, which you can 
control in
gnome-mplayer.

you might have been running up against the CPU high usage bug in 0.6.3 so 
upgrade to
0.7.0 (I just released it) and let me know if it is fixed.
