I want to write a linux shell script that will ping a website (google, perhaps), and then use the response to determine a max download and upload speed in kB/s for arguments to btlaunchmanycurses.py .

Code:
--max_upload_rate <arg>
          maximum kB/s to upload at (0 = no limit, -1 = automatic) (defaults to
          0)

--max_download_rate <arg>
          maximum kB/s to download at (0 = no limit) (defaults to 0)

How would ping time alone be able to determine one's max download/upload speeds?

IT wouldn't. It would determine net usage, which, when combined with the static variable of speed, would give one a good speed to limit UL and DL to.

Hmm well, ping wouldn't do it... any ideas?

How about doing a quick upload test somewhere (maybe your ISP's FTP server if they also offer hosting) of a file for about 5 to 10 seconds? Whatever speed you get from that, take 75% to 80% and make that the max upstream set for bittornado.
