Behind it i have a suse linux box and a windows box. On the suse box i run proftpd. I need to shape my passive ftp send speed to 34KBytes because if it is maxed out at 45K it slows down all surfing on the entire network. I have tried running wondershaper-htb on the ipcop firewall and it limits my upload speed, but it still seems to slow down everything else a little bit. I notice a slow www experience however my ping times are...

...c add dev eth1 root tbf rate 220kbit latency 50ms burst 1540 I then attempt a large fetch from another machine via wget (~40 megs) and the rate was clamped down to about 12Kbytes/s. As this seemed too much, I gradually increased the latency up to 200ms which then gave me the expected results (~34Kbytes/s). I then applied this queuing discipline on a machine acting as a gateway/router for a few VLANed subnets. The tbf was applied on interface eth1.615. From another workstation I attempted a wget, and so the traffic had to go through the gateway/router. The download rate went from 16 Mbytes...
