Thanks. Another point, when Im downloading a file at its ticking at 60kb/s,
then the performance of the connection will drop for any new connections. IE I wont be able to listen to some audio streams, or it will take a long time to open pages. Is this normal, or should each connection get a share of the available bandwidth. I wonder if there is a problem somewhere. Im using Debian potato, with a 2.2 kernel on my gateway box.
