Try those links, they explain much: Using pf: http://www.benzedrine.cx/ackpri.html Using IPFW: http://www.topfx.com/prioritizingackfreebsd.shtml In my tests, downloading a file from the web space my ISP gives me, I found that it helps a lot. Using bittorrent, it did not change much. As always, with those kind of sharing, I think the main problem is leechers. DrVince DrVince@anonymnet.net
