Just as a comparision note: I have a 256k U/D DSL connection that I use IP masqing for 2 windows machines. My DSL provider is USWest TelCo, and my ISP is a local company (datawest.com) not affiliated w/ the TelCo. I don't run into this problem. It almost seems as tho my ftp connections get as cetain amount of bandwith, then the http connections, as well as the telnets. Basically it looks like mine is partitioned off. But I dunno . . .

This is a problem that has been irking me for awhile, and my wife almost beat me to death last night, so here it is: If I start a big download with a fast site (Like a CDROM iso or a DIVX) All available bandwith is choked completely off. All other users on the network are unable to view web pages (they come up, but take an *insanely* long time). Is there a way to make it so you get a more reasonable use of bandwidth? Like run the download at 80% of available bandwith and additioanl connections at 20% or some such similar? -David Talbot ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
