I use Smoothwall as a router/firewall appliance at home. It has worked fine before. Besides, I seed from Windows XP at home. Before, while seeding worked at home, I capped at approx 50kbps using Smoothie 's QoS-features and it worked like a charm. But yes, bt *is* giving me grief at work where I'm trying to set up a CentOS 5.3 seeding machine with iptables. The university helpdesk told me they use "tcp established"-filters for inside machines going out and blocks most everything from incoming. The normal way I guess. And it does work from Windows, but linux - no... 8-/ I've used the below as a base for setting this up, but I'm not there quite yet. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-open-bittorrent-tcp-ports-6881- to-6889.html -- /Sorin
