Smoothwall questions

[sja360]

just wondering whether there is any way to limit connection speeds at certain times?
or perhaps some sort of QoS?
its so that any downloads (on my brothers machine) get lowest priority over me playing css or downloading.
i know there are routers which do QoS straight out the box or with modified firmware but i'd rather see if i can shove a smoothwall stylee onto a spare pc instead.
p.s. i have no experience with smoothwall i was only looking at it as an example (the only one i can think of aswell )

Dunno about Smoothwall, but ipcop does it (with layer7 packet inspection et al, though some modification may be necessary).

Yep, Smoothwall does QoS but from what I remember QoS is easier to setup and works better with IPCop.
