Did a a few test, and this seems to be the problem yes.

After the sync is done, the files do appear in the webinterface again.
during the sync

But when i change the max upload/download bandwidth (both default to
2028KB) to 1mbit up / 128Kbit down, the client still seems to completely
saturate my internet connection when uploading large files

I Have a pretty fast adsl line here - 20Mbit down, 1Mbit up...
