I've now got a shaping setup I'm happy with which is based roughly on the setup suggested in LARTC. It limits BitTorrent to "bulk" traffic and puts high-priority traffic up first. As a testament to its power, I'm typing this through and SSH connection to a remote host as I'm downloading a large tarball and uploading a BitTorrent file at 90kB/sec. There's no observable slowdown on SSH at all. You will need the iproute2 tools. You will also need a kernel with traffic shaping, the HTB, SFQ, and Ingress schedulers, and the U32 filter. iptables is not necessary, but it's highly suggested for any networking machine. -- Soren Harward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://theboard.byu.edu/ "Americans are always attempting to run away from conformity, but unfortunately they always start running in the same direction." -- Art Buchwald
