I had some luck yesterday with altq. I've put 300kb as bandwidht limit in my internal iface and 150Kb in my external iface. And assigned traffic to the download queue (300Kb) and it worked. The only problem is that i'm using keep state in all of my rules, and i'll have to change this behavior to filter the incoming and the outcoming packets. I only run into one problem, the connections to the firewall itself (ssh, for example) ended being queued to. And 300Kb is a very little bandwidth if you have 2 simultaneous downloads. But i believe that no using keep state for some of my rules will do the trick.
