It's not about what you do, but how your system is observed from the outside.

Wondershaper is a good starting point, but you have to customise the script.
You also have to tune it and try it out: you may have to set UPLOAD and
DOWNLOAD a bit lower than expected to see an actual reduction in your
up/download speed. If you see a little drop in your (up/)downloads (ftp the
100MB_random.bin from(/to) your ISP's ftp server), then you will see good
ping times. As long as you don't see any drop (and huge ping times), WS is
not limiting at all and prioritising is useless!

Furthermore, WS does special way of download limiting. Instead of the
default, I added rate limiting on outgoing ACK packages to limit my
downloads. Again, I tuned the rate so that it just reduced my downloads (and
keeps 64kbps free for my VoIP line:-) ). I sent you my config off-list.

Just to be sure, is *all* your traffic routed through the server with
wondershaper? Any PC/gaming console/VoIP-phone that is directly connected to
your ADSL-modem or switch between modem and server (by wire or wifi) is
*not* shaped by WS and can totally fill your line.

Feel free to contact me off-list in Dutch.

Arnold
