Basically I have bittorrent running on the firewall/router. I am trying to lessen the impact on our 128/512k DSL line. Currently it hogs everything and makes web traffic annoyingly slow. I want to make bittorrent lowest priority traffic. It's a shame that you cant do inbound queuing, to implement rate limiting there.
