The Internet connection comes from a DSL modem, which is connected to an old (3.1) firewall, which is connected to the PF bridge, which is connected to a hub, which connects all other computers. > Then check the bandwidth setting, I suppose you read the instructions > about how to pick the right number.

I've tried lowering it all the way to 50Kb, but still no dropped packets. The upload speed is definitely limited, though. I also flushed all states and started new downloads and uploads after loading the ruleset. No packets seem to go to the priority queue: queue q_pri priority 7 [ pkts: 0 bytes: 0 dropped pkts: 0 bytes: 0 ] [ qlength: 0/ 50 ] [ measured: 0.0 packets/s, 0 b/s ] queue q_def priq( default ) [ pkts: 3648 bytes: 466638 dropped pkts: 0 bytes: 0 ] [ qlength: 23/ 50 ] [ measured: 7.6 packets/s, 52.23Kb/s ] -Ray-
