Hi. maybe he has not a problem with his bandwidth, but a problem with his router that cannot handle those connections. if you are using a linux box as router/gw check the logs for something with conntrack table full. if this is the case your machine is not able to accept new connections afaik. a possible solution can be to increase your ip_conntrack_max in /proc/sys/net/ipv4 e.g. "echo "2048" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max or you get patch o matic and look for the connlimit patch. the last solution would be find the p2p guy and cut off his network cable ;) greetings matthias > -----Original Message----- > From: netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:netfilter-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of > Raphael Jacquot > Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 5:08 PM > To: Lyubomir Louisov > Cc: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Connections > > > Lyubomir Louisov wrote: > > Hi. > > My torrent client is using too much connections at the same > time and thats > > why i cant browse the net. > > My question is how can i limit the number of connections > with iptables? > > > > > > You'd better use a QOS solution, to reduce the priority of > the torrent > data compared to the other stuff data > >
