My router will do QoS, it's just a fairly high-end domestic (but older)
Dlink gaming router. I can assign my "incoming" bandwidth any way I
want. I've never used it. Most decent routers these days have this
function.

Obviously Apple's Airport base stations aren't decent routers. :-)

And on that note, I see it is a new feature in Transmit 4.0, though I
can't see anything from a quick glance to suggest Transmit supports HTTP
downloads (it is an FTP client).

Don't use Transmit myself so I haven't investigated further.

I wish Apple would fix it so that one is not required to be logged in to
an admin account to get update notifications. I almost never log in to
my admin account and so don't get the notifications.

Is there any way to hack a fix on my own?
