[LinuxUsers] pfSense upgrade throttles torrent traffic well

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.
