Yes. These settings will give a pool of 64000 bytes to download that
is refilled at 8000 bytes per second (64kbps). This does mean they
could "burst" at speeds higher than 64kbps before the rate limiting
begins to affect them. You may want to set the max level lower (say
12000 or 16000 instead of 64000) - a sudden download of 64000 bytes
will swamp a 512kbps link (albeit briefly).
