My original test was capped at 384Kbps (i.e. 48KBps). I have tried it with 256Kbps (32KBps), 128Kbps (16KBps), etc. I have also managed to sustain HTTP and FTP connections to my server at 500+Kbps for days at a time with no problems before. If upload was a problem, I would expect this usage situation to cause problems as well. More importantly, I do not experience the latency when I am simply "seeding" (only uploading). I only have this problem when BitTorrent is making large numbers of connections to download. I had some extra time today, and swapped out the OpenBSD box for a NetGear router. I am no longer experiencing the latency problem. I will continue monitoring the problem for another 48 hours or so, but my initial conclusion is that the problem is with the OpenBSD box. Either this is a hardware problem with my box, or it is a software bug. Given the number of posts experiencing difficulty with BitTorrent I am inclined toward the latter as opposed to the former. I'm going to see if I can get another OpenBSD box to test this on, but it won't be a Blade100. I can also try adding an extra network card and not using gem0 (the interface with the problem). But that's the best I'm going to be able to do from this end. --MHC
