How would I tell the BT streams to slow down while giving more priority to the important stuff? I know how to do it on egress, just not on ingress.
It is important to note that this generally works well for outgoing traffic but is not particularly effective against incoming traffic since that is *pushed* onto your machine and it has no way to control this.
You can control incoming bandwidth much the same as outbound - but it's hard to keep latency low all of the time.

You can treat it a egress traffic coming from shaping box to LAN. So the marking/filtering should be no different. In the BT case, there is a project on sf.net called ipp2p which can mark it, it needs you to patch netfilter/kernel with connmark. I don't use it so can't tell you in detail.
