hi all, I am trying to deal with the following situation: I have a network that includes a windows box, a linux box and a box that does video streaming, they all get into a Belkin N1 router. When the windows box runs p2p downloads, possibly the traffic shaping done by my ISP is slowing everything so that the video streaming becomes unusable (it starts buffering every 5 seconds). It may be so that the reason is different however, if I kill my downloads, the straeming gets back to normal... Now, how would I go about a script that knows either p2p is running or the video streaming and avoids running both at the same time - more restrictively, if the video streaming is up, then kill the p2p, immediately after streaming is down, bring back the p2p download. The network is just a bunch of 192.168.2.XXX ip addresses, the p2p client is azureus(vuze), the streaming is done from a fixed url. Thanks, kowalsky
