Right so i'm the proud owner of a WRT54GS V1, wondrous little thing for the money! Its got tomato on it presently, as i was drawn by the fancy graphs, which tbh aren't that appealing after honeymoon period :p.

Now i'm looking for some functionality. I'd like some sort of QoS in place, i've played with tomato's and i can work it fine, but it limits what i want indefinitely or between time scales which isn't what i'm after, is there anything adaptive out there?

Something that takes into account current usage, by layer7 protocol or whatever (like tomato) and determines on a scale of how important things are whether to throttle things of lower importance. I hope i've got that across properly, and i also don't mind changing firmware of course!

Sooooo any clues? :)

To do anything to your downloads, it would need to be installed at the ISP's end - by the time it gets to you, it's too late to do anything with it.
 
Yeah i understand that now had a little read on a website that basically spelt it out to me :D I'm thinking about doing something per PC that detects when a PC is idle or not, and somehow talks to our download box, the download box can collate that all PC's logged on are idle and up the speed otherwise its set to a default background level :) This doesn't sound *that* easy though :p
