Replying to william:

This has been implemented in 8.2 as a plugin.

Won't this override Transmissions own settings.json file as well as limit transmissions built in functionality (e.g. randomisation of port usage)?

Additionally the plugin interface doesn't accept decimal points for ratio's so you can't use 1.5 or 2.5, etc.
