Connections limit

[Evil_Devil]

Because i have connections limit from my ISP when i download with Torrent client i cant browse anything else or the torrent dont download with my full spead.

My question is how can i limit connections only on a single port with iptables or something else?

Yes, it looks like it's possible with iptables. Take a look at this, it's for limiting ssh, but I guess that it'd work with any port..

but do i need to recompile with some patch the kernel because i am a newbie? I am using SuSE 9.3. Until now i only used Yast for SuSEFirewall.

Sorry buddy, I can't help you since I don't know much about iptables..

The best choice for this work is 'TC' (Trafffic Controller). But I;m sorry that I haven't seen a good HOWTO for it.

I found a few HOWTOS, go ahead check them.
