Yes, I have noticed that too. Some discussions I've seen suggest that you add a queue on your internal interface too and limit the bandwidth entering your LAN. This will drop packets and TCP is supposed to renegotiate transmission windows then and make the upstream server send data slower and not saturate your download. I'm no expert in the gritty technical details and I haven't tried this myself but it might be worth experimenting with. /Morgan _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
