I know that specifically in the case of BitTorrent you can limit the upload rate by a command line parameter to btdownloadgui. I believe it's --max_upload_rate. If that's the only thing you need to cap the upload speed for it's a lot less work than manually trying to cap the entire network. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
