FYI looks like i need to enable protocol filtering on my home network

[chimney]

some people here have a tendency of leaving torrents running when they aren't home and don't set an upload limit, thus killing the entire network.

i am not going to name names

Need details on what you use for a network router/firewall before we can offer solutions.

i have a four port m0n0 wall router that i built and is plugged into my cisco catalyst 2950 48port with three vlans and one wap for each vlan

i wasn't really asking for help, just more venting that i live with one person and have to setup traffic shaping or block ports on specific networks.

....or close the torrent application when you need extra bandwidth?

My wife complains like crazy when my downloading hogs all of the bandwidth.

it's not me, i have a system setup just to manage torrents. someone else doesn't always use the torrent system and forgets to close torrents when they are done, or at least limit them.

guess i need to figure out how to use the m0n0wall traffic shaper that uses some freebsd dummynet something or other.

If you start traffic shaping at home you really will become an ubergeek.

oh, that's the other problem; someone doesn't want to bother to learn how to use usenet, even though i have showed them many times AND and a system setup for using usenet.

utorrent has a brand new feature where it kills the torrent when you reach a certain amount of sharing. Brand new. Neat, huh?

i have done that with torrentflux for years, and i love torrentflux's queuing feature.

Yeah, its been in utorrent for years too, which is what both of you should be using.
