Hmmm seems like a rather blunt tool if that 25% figure for Usenet/ bitorrent is correct.

I Signed up to a unlimited pakage with no shaping, i'm quite happy to have my traffic shaped if the network is busy but i don't see how Usenet, which is usually a paid for service should get such a low priority compared to HTTP services. If the shaping is heavy then i will be switching, might aswell have a slower broadband/ Sky pakage if it slows been down heavily. It's ok saying to schedule but if this hits me too heavily there is no point as i want my content now, not tomorrow! Anyway we'll see how it affects i suppose, especially with 100mbit on the horizon
