I'm not sure if we're talking about limiting the connections just for
torrents, or for everything.
If you can limit the connections just for torrents and leave everything
else wide open, that would be great, but if by limiting the connections
for everything, then that is not the solution being sought after.
What was said by many others at the conference was limit the torrents
and at the same time be able to ftp or mail what ever at a much higher
rate.

You are correct. Mikrotik can do the same. ANY Linux based system can
limit connections, because it's built into iptables. Frankly, this is
the method I use to set up QOS (part of it, anyway), because it is the
ONLY effective way to limit the negative impact of these torrents.
