The way I did it was to find a very popular torrent with lots of seeders and leechers (a new linux distro would suffice) and leech as much as possible (use rtorrent to throttle to 1KB/s up, but unlimit down). This eventually gave me an indication of the maximum download speed I'd likely ever see. Once I had some people fetching chunks of the distro from me, I turned up > * How do I make a decision as to what queue method to use: cbq, priq, or hfsc? Try each of them and see. PRIQ made it easy to say "certain types of traffic take precedence over others, make sure you handle all the ssh before any bittorrent, and by the way, you can only send up to _____kbps." > Basically, I want to attempt to avoid getting watchdog timeouts on my > bittorrent connections. Get a better NIC or a NIC with a better driver? I've used re(4), nfe(4), sis(4), fxp(4), and em(4) with bittorrent all without watchdog timeouts. And when I got the re(4), it was less than $20 for something that could do better than 100Mbps. Try acpi like Daniel suggests? -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
