Okay, I posted this last week.  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.
