On the server? > download ~124kbyte/s > upload ~1500kbyte/s Why !!! (I try htb - the same problem) You ceil the download to 1Mbit ( = 125 kbyte/s) and use all that bandwidth to download. But when you upload at the same time, there are also packets going in the download direction (confirmation packets and others). But your download is full, so they can't get thru. That's why upload is also slow and that's why you have to shape in both directions. Or be clever, and give more bandwidth in the download direction for the packets needed for upload Stef -- stef.coene@xxxxxxxxx "Using Linux as bandwidth manager" http://www.docum.org/ #lartc @ irc.openprojects.net
