No, this is not what tc does. You will have to add other rules to 
your config - see FAQ 48 on the website for details of the various 
options available to you.

BUT, I think Squid is for http - so it won't help with FTP and 
Torrents. I would suggest that with only 128k you need to be blocking 
torrents altogether except for highly important ones (eg patch 
downloads etc) run by your admins.


What tc will do for you is allow you to control and prioritise the 
traffic GOING OUT of your 128k pipe. I used to have to run a slightly 
smaller user base over 64k (one ISDN channel) before we got ADSL at 
my last job, and we used to have terrible problems with high latency 
- the main one was that DNS lookups would time out before our 
internal server could get all the queries in & out !
