hi, thnx for replying. i've heard of ipt_p2p, and after a quick look at it decided i'd have to take a much longer look at it :) to tell the truth i'm not too worried about just limiting BT The main issue comes with the bit i don't think i made clear in the post.... the reason i limit eth0 is because i've got a router + modem in one that every machine connects thru. The linux box is the web/file/ftp/jabber etc. server, the rest have basic web access for browsing etc. everything in the lan I want running at lan speeds (100 mbit). so i capped eth0 at that. then i just need a rule to limit all outbound traffic off the linux box to about 23kbps so there's a k or 2 overhead on the line to let the other boxes browse ok, maybe giving ftp and http priority over everything else. hope that makes better sense. cheers mat > > I don't think filtering on the BT ports will always work as you can > still run it without opening them, in that case the connections get set > up by the tracker and may not contain the normal ports.
