Now, when i start a p2p app on my workstation the latency of my internet

384 kbit/s up and 3072 kbit/s down. I know that there are some
approaches to solve this kind of problem by categorizing packets and
assign different priorities to them, as explained at
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Packet_Shaping. However, my knowledge of
iptables and networking is very limited and i just want a simple and
clean solution as i don't plan to trick myself by switching my p2p apps
to non standard ports or manipulating the packet size ...
I've used that HOWTO (and contributed bits to it), and its great.
But why can't you just limit your P2P application's upload speed? I mean, the
program should have some controls that let you do that, right? I know every sane
bittorrent app has this.
