[debian sarge]

Hi

I am connected to the internet thru a 128kbps connection, with a single
box. There is no separate router.

I have a 'cvs update' going on for a rather large repository.
Whenever there is any HTTP traffic(browser/wget/apt-get etc), the CVS
traffic seems to come to a halt. So it looks like my ISP is giving
higher priority to HTTP traffic. 

Is there any way I can give higher priority to the CVS traffic? 

I have read lartc (lartc.org), but all the techniques it talks about
(cbq, htb etc) works only for outgoing traffic, not for incoming data.
The linux ingress qdisc doesnt seem suitable for this problem.

In freebsd, I could use 'ipfw pipes' to control incoming traffic too..
Is there a similar mechanism that can be done in linux?

Regards 

Thanks in Advance!
