For what it's worth, guys, the newest pfSense load I'm using (1.2.2)
works great throttling torrents and other crap P2P traffic.
The older version I used from about a year or two ago didn't always seem
to work that great (http requests sometimes slow), but now every non-P2P
connection seems extremely snappy (even with 50+ torrents going), and a
constant ping test shows the latency increasing by a tiny fraction of
the amount that it used to before.
Anyone else using pfSense? I finally got Dino to switch (he put it on a
little Nokia box, which works great with FreeBSD because of IPSO). I'm
really enjoying using it over the older Cisco PIX that I used before.
