After a lot of testing, these numbers seem to give me the best |
| 17 |
performance as far as bittorrent download speed. How can that be? Is |
| 18 |
DOWNLINK my upload and UPLINK my download? |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
DOWNLINK=425 |
| 21 |
UPLINK=3450 |
| 22 |
DEV=ath0 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I tried to define the bittorrent ports as a low priority like this: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
NOPRIOPORTSRC=6881:6999 |
| 27 |
NOPRIOPORTDST=6881:6999 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
but I get this when restarting shorewall: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Illegal "match" |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Are you using port ranges in those variable? |
