I have a question that I need to ask in terms of an analogy, since true network tweaking is still something of a mystery to me (okay, okay, it betrays my ignorance in these matters...:-) ).
When dealing with processor usage, you can "renice" a process and make it have a lower priority so it doesn't hog the CPU, and your system will "chunk" less. So is there a way to do something like this with a network connection? Since I have ADSL, it sucks whenever I want to upload a big file and my Internet connection is knocked to its knees. It would be great to be able to say "this outgoing tcp connection to foo.com gets only 1% of the bandwidth" or something like that. Am I making any sense? -- R.
