It turns out that with HTB you need to leave some room for your interactive class, in my case, I trimmed the bulk class by 20kbit/s. You could probably also get away with assigning 220kbit/s to your interactive class and 1kbit/s to the bulk class, but allowing it to borrow up to 220kbit/s, which would save you from trimming off 10%. > >One thing, try reversing the priorities > > i tried it, but this hadn't a positive effect. isn't 1 the highest and 7 the > lowest?
