Traffic Shaping

Hi,
My connection delivers 8Mb/s down and 2 Mb/s up. My incoming bittorrent traffic is on port 5560, and outgoing is bound to port 9000. Can I use traffic shaping to allow bittorrent to use all available bandwidth, but give my wife's laptop priority (I'm trying to improve the Wife Approval Factor)?
Thanks!

Ok, so no one wants to tell me how to do it...
Will someone at least tell me if what I have is right?

Code:

6 Total Upload 80   SSH & SFTP


Rules

First off, make sure those pipes (the 8000 and the 1500) are legit.  You need to enter the "real" throughput of those, and not what your DSL/cable company says they are.  Use a speed test that is close to you on the internet ... it should be something like 7000 1800 or something prbly.

2nd, why don't u start with the magic shaper and tweak rules to your satisfaction instead of trying to write all the ones you need.  The magic shaper was built to do exactly what you're requesting ... keep p2p traffic at bay if they're higher priority traffic.

The magic shaper also gets way more hi tech than what you're doing because it gives priorities to small packets (your ssh stuff) as well as for tcp acks and what not which are obviously vital to speedy http and telnet style stuff.

One last note ... if u do go w/ the traffic shaper, it will ask you for your up/down pipe capacity.  You actually WILL want to enter the full #'s there, because it automatcially will deduct the "overhead" and put in legit #'s.  You still may want to tweak those once the magic shaper has installed the rules however, in accordance w/ whatever u found on the speed test.

Good luck

all is right except the rules (and you should change the queues description)
the rules will work on packages, not on connections, so you have to set a rule to catch upload traffic and another to catch download traffic for each port
