As seen here. The problem? The way TCP ACKs are prioritized by asynchronous DSL lines, and from the sound of those of you complaining about BitTorrent - many cable lines as well.
The following is a traffic graph without OpenBSD:
The following is a traffic graph after OpenBSD's packetfilter has been used to reprioritize TCP ACK (acknowledge) packets:
This should also be applicable to reprioritizing, say all UDP packets (games), far in excess of other packets such that one can download or *ahem* serve content without their gameplay being affected.
If anyone wants a basic 'how to setup' for OpenBSD and an old computer (Pentium 200, etc.) I would be more than happy to help set this up - if multiple people want it I don't mind writing a simple how-to. I still need to spend some time figuring out this altqueue shit, but what Hartmeier (the principle programmer for PacketFilter) has written here should be more than enough to get started.

If Jesus were alive today, he would get his warez through eMule -nt- by Entropy Stew 05/18/2003, 11:09pm PDT 
No way man. That's too easy. mIRC is for Jesus. eMule is for Aquinas. NT by mrs. johnson 05/18/2003, 11:14pm PDT 
This shit is slooooo-ho. Direct Connect is so much better. by Fullofkittens 05/18/2003, 11:29pm PDT 
Yeah. I would enjoy seeing a solution to the "extreme drowsiness" of emule NT by mrs. johnson 05/18/2003, 11:47pm PDT 
You fail to take into account the fact that eMule has more warez than God by Entropy Stew 05/18/2003, 11:29pm PDT 
No. BitTorrent has a TON of legitimate uses . . . by Senor Barborito 05/19/2003, 12:34am PDT 
I would have believed you... by foogla 05/19/2003, 9:28am PDT 
No, see, it doesn't work like that. There is no 'userbase' by Senor Barborito 05/19/2003, 11:09am PDT

Mostly the same result should be achieved by Senor Barborito 05/22/2003, 11:51pm PDT
