Yeah. The 'dropping packets to slow down connections' isn't the best
approach to begin with, and it works only on a per-connection basis.
Peer-to-peer traffic tends to have lots of connections, all of which
are rather short-lived. Every new connection will try to push out as
much data as possible, so HTB is busy beating the little bugger down
right from the beginning. Some people use iptables to generally drop
a few packets of any newly established connection to avoid this sort
of problem.
