setting max upload rate in bittorrent

[miner825]

i'm running redhat 9 and using the newest version, 3.2.1b-2 05/13/03, of this bt client, http://ei.kefro.st/projects/btclient/.

i have tried setting my max upload rate to 40 with the following commands

./btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 40 csi.torrent
./btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate "40" csi.torrent
./btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate=40 csi.torrent
./btdownloadcurses.py csi.torrent --max_upload_rate 40
./btdownloadcurses.py csi.torrent --max_upload_rate "40"
./btdownloadcurses.py csi.torrent --max_upload_rate=40

and i always get this error

error: Too many args - 0 max

any ideas. tia.
