I use Smoothwall as a router/firewall appliance at home. It has worked fine before. Besides, I seed from Windows XP at home. Before, while seeding worked at home, I capped at approx 50kbps using Smoothie 's QoS-features and it worked like a charm. But yes, bt *is* giving me grief at work where I'm trying to set up a CentOS 5.3 seeding machine with iptables. The university helpdesk told me they use "tcp established"-filters for inside machines going out and blocks most everything from incoming. The normal way I guess.

Depends on your preferences. Being an old cli guy, I like rtorrent. I currently have on my CentOS 4.7 box rtorrent-0.8.0-1.el4.rf libtorrent-0.12.0-1.el4.rf from rpmforge. Be warned: on CentOS 4, libtorrent 0.12.4 did not work properly. I would not accept keyboard input. I've posted about this to the rpmforge list and am awaiting a reply. When I put the old one back in, all was good. I don't run it on my 5.2/3 box, so I can't help there. -- Bill ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thinking of analogies, if one person throws a small stone at you, maybe you get a small bruise at worst. If a thousand do it at the same time you *die*, likely. That is to say, thousands throwing packets your way all at once tend to negate a single-point bottleneck existing between you and any specific source off your ISPs network, if they tend to come from all different directions (different remote networks). 'Course if you live on a nasty cable provider (we'll leave them unnamed here) who feels it right to throttle you based on various usage statistics, you may only get hit by a few stones at once. -- Bill ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
