Image of kget downloading speed and download speed limit setting

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

KGet Version 2.4.5  Using KDE Development Platform 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5)


Kget -> Settings -> Configure -> Network -> Speed Limit
The above setting does not have any effect at all.

Eg. I've set the Global Download Limit at 500K but kget still downloads at more than 500K, even after a reboot.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Kget -> Settings -> Configure -> Network -> Speed Limit

Set your limit.

Download a file e.g. googleearth

Actual Results:  
Download speed exceed the set limit

Set download speed limit at 500K but download can exceed 500K using my 10M connection.


Expected Results:  
Download speed should NOT exceed set limit.


Kget version as below :
KGet
Version 2.4.5
Using KDE Development Platform 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5)

Debian version as below :
Debian Squeeze
Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 x86_64

Just checked and confirmed that wget is working okay with speed limit e.g.

wget --limit-rate=300k http://somefile

So, Kget is the one "having" the problem.
