Upload limit problem

[arcull]

Hi to everyone. I' ve got one more problem. I installed Amule a P2P software and it works OK. Now I would like to limit my upload in order that Amule does not take all my available upload. I spent a few days on studying ip tables, but still I can not get thing work as I would like. The problem is that when I run the my uploadlimit script it does not only limit the port I specified(4662) in the script but all the ports. At least it looks so, because also Mozilla and other applications work very slow when I run the script. Can someone help me with this Thanx for your time guys.

PS: below is my script

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 10
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1 classid 1:10 htb rate 20kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1 classid 1:20 htb rate 256kbit
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent 1: prio 1 u32 match \ip dport 4662 0xffff flowid 1:10
echo "Upload limit is set"

I don't know about amule but ktorrent allows you to limit the upload bandwidth in the configuration.

You are right ogalthorp, AMule alows that to, but normally if you limit the upload in the configuration of the program, the program will note that and as a consequence you will have also lower download Thats why I would like it to do via linux kernel. Is there someone that has more experience with ip tables? Thanx again.
