I've got a problem with download torrents and using Firefox for www, Azureus has proper limits and I left 10KB/s for my browsing
or radio on the net.
The problem is that Firefox don't respect the Azureus Bandwidth, for example if I Go a site flash loaded my torrent speed decay....
Searching on google, freshmeat and the dear knoppix forum The answers I found were very mid-level on linux, and for me the rookie,
read about ip tables , pools, and other things were very difficult to applicate only for one app (firefox).
But I found trickle which is easy, quick and direct...and better it works!!!
I tested downloading a file (14MB) and only use the 10KB/s I put as limit ... my torrents are safe
Trickle site The bonus! no compilation apt-get install tricke
