Need some help understanding how to traffic shape inbound
-
I'd put the game queue at, say, bandwidth and link share 60% and the torrents at like 5%. If it's really important I'd also set a realtime value on the game queue at, say 10%. Note also that if you want pings to reflect what's really going on you need to put them (icmp) in the game queue.
Then test and see how it does.

wouldnt this just mean that the torrents can only ever use 5%? or am i not understanding that correctly? I would like the torrents to be able to use all of the bandwidth when nothing is going on. is that what that does or is that limiting it to always be 5%?

No. It means that they get 5% of the backlogged queue, which is only an issue when there's congestion.
There is no way to give something else priority without dropping bittorrent traffic. That's the name of the game.
Something has to get dropped to make room for the traffic you set as priority.

alright so like this?

No. Upperlimit is a hard-set 5%. That tells the shaper to drop traffic in excess of 5% of the parent queue. Get rid of it unless that's what you want.

ohh ok so bandwidth at 5% or blank? and then upper limit just turned off? Sorry that i am being so slow with this but thanks a lot for all the help. Also would you recommend Codel Active Queue? i dont fully get what it is but it makes it sound like a good thing from the wiki it brings me too.

Set bandwidth and link share (m2) to the same value.

I leave codel unchecked.

You might want to go to Diagnostice->Edit File, enter /tmp/rules.debug, then hit Load. Look for the section that looks like this:
altq on em2 hfsc queue { qLink, qInternet } queue qLink on em2 bandwidth 25% hfsc ( default , linkshare 25% ) queue qInternet on em2 bandwidth 10Mb hfsc ( linkshare 10Mb , upperlimit 10Mb ) { qDNS, qACK, qVPN, qBulk, qOpenWireless, qLowPrio } queue qDNS on em2 bandwidth 5% hfsc ( realtime 5% , linkshare 5% ) queue qACK on em2 bandwidth 10% hfsc ( linkshare 10% ) queue qVPN on em2 bandwidth 10% hfsc ( realtime 5% , linkshare 10% ) queue qBulk on em2 bandwidth 50% hfsc ( linkshare 50% ) queue qOpenWireless on em2 bandwidth 2Mb hfsc ( linkshare (2Mb, 5000, 1Mb) , upperlimit (2Mb, 5000, 1Mb) ) queue qLowPrio on em2 bandwidth 5% hfsc ( linkshare 5% ) altq on em0_vlan223 hfsc queue { qLink, qInternet } queue qLink on em0_vlan223 bandwidth 25% hfsc ( default , linkshare 25% ) queue qInternet on em0_vlan223 bandwidth 100Mb hfsc ( linkshare 100Mb , upperlimit 100Mb ) { qDNS, qACK, qVPN, qBulk, qLowPrio } queue qDNS on em0_vlan223 bandwidth 5% hfsc ( realtime 5% , linkshare 5% ) queue qACK on em0_vlan223 bandwidth 10% hfsc ( linkshare 10% ) queue qVPN on em0_vlan223 bandwidth 10% hfsc ( realtime 5% , linkshare 10% ) queue qBulk on em0_vlan223 bandwidth 50% hfsc ( linkshare 50% ) queue qLowPrio on em0_vlan223 bandwidth 10% hfsc ( linkshare 10% ) altq on em0_vlan1004 hfsc queue { qLink, qInternet } queue qLink on em0_vlan1004 bandwidth 20% hfsc ( default , linkshare 20% ) queue qInternet on em0_vlan1004 bandwidth 10Mb hfsc ( linkshare 10Mb , upperlimit (10Mb, 2000, 2Mb) ) { qOpenWireless } queue qOpenWireless on em0_vlan1004 bandwidth 50% hfsc ( linkshare 50% )And post it, along with the characteristics of your internet service (that example is for a 100/10 cable connection.)

Thanks so much i now have it working and everything behaves as expected. My torrents can take up the speed when nothing is going on but as soon as i start playing games they get dialed back enough that my games ping remains unaffected.

I messed with the settings a bit, i tried seeing what would happen if i set p2p and games bandwidth to 98% and then set the backlog and such and it seems to be working. Either can take up most of the link if it wants but when they both want the link games wins.
