For example a large 30GB file where the upload device has limited speed (typical in Germany is 20:1 download upload ratio). Can one device download the same file from multiple devices, torrent like ?
And can partially received files already sent to others ?
Yes. Syncthing splits files into blocks. When downloading blocks, syncthing distributes requests across all devices that announce availability for it.
okay, then only a global speed limit is missing … or do i miss it ?
currently if i need to limit my upload due to a video conference as example, i have to limit every connected device 
Go to Actions > Settings > Connections. Set the Incoming Rate Limit (kB/s) and / or Outgoing Rate Limit (kB/s) options.
