My ISP has warned me to stop uploading bittorrent data. I''d still like to download, but miro reports an active upload rate even though I''ve specified a maximum upload of 0kb/s. Can I use shorewall to accomplish this? I think shorewall only considers the source and destination of the request, not the source and destination of the data. Is that right? - Grant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

It sounds like miro will not be able to limit the upload rate to zero. Is there a way to do this in shorewall? - Grant ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

also, a better option is to either force encrypted peer connections only, or better yet to switch ISPs. yours seems exceedingly lacking.
