How can the server load be over 100%

Hello, when I downloaded the new version yesterday the free sever load was around 140% and I can't figure out how that's possible, isn't 100% max or am I missing something?

The "Server Load" is based on available bandwidth in our pool of servers. The provider we use for these servers allows burstable bandwidth upwards of 200%. There is an upper limit where this will not increase anymore (around 220% total - or 120% over what we pay for) then all that happens is people will start getting less than 200kb/sec per download thread. As burstable bandwidth is not something we pay for I don't count this in the final figure displayed on the forums as it can change at any given time depending on our provider.

I also keep an eye on this and allocate further servers or resources to the pool if required and adjust the available bandwidth for the server load status on the main site along with it.
