      WAN1 is an unmetered ADSL2+ connection, not good for anything other than browsing OR torrenting
      WAN2 is a 15mbit cable connection with a 60GB cap

      i have set WAN2 as default gateway

      how do i get torrents to use WAN1?

          Maybe some L7 rules might help on this, but what kind of rules you need for identifieng torrent traffic i dont know.

            Create an port alias with ports you want to go out on wan2 like 80, 443, 22 etc.
            Then create a rule before the default with this alias as destination and wan2 gateway.
            Then change the default lan rule to use wan1 gateway.

              have set wan1 to default gateway
              set alias to ports 80, 443,
              created rule with alias as destination and WAN2 as gateway on WAN1 AND WAN2 but not LAN.

              not entirely sure why it isnt working

                    That rule needs to be on LAN and then http://www.pfsense.org/ip.php will show that your http traffic are going out on WAN2

                      Perry already supplied answer, please inform if you need more assistance.
                      Just keep in mind that pfsense works on ingress, so if you like to tell that lan has access to somewhere, create that rule on lan

                        I am trying to do the exact same thing except I only want FTP traffic going out WAN2.

                        I'm not really sure I understand what Perry means, I created the same rule on my LAN tab of the firewall setup but I don't see how that could work?

                          Create rule with following info:
                          proto: tcp
                          source: desired subnet
                          source int: lan(or where you want that traffic to go out)
                          destination: usually any
                          destination port: ftp
                          advanced features: gateway: choose what you want to use

                          Make sure that this rule is above default rule

                            Thanks for the reply,

                            Have tried that but all traffic is still going out WAN1

                            What subnet would I normally put under source? I have a whole range of type options
                            WAN
                            LAN
                            WAN2
                            etc

                            Likewise for the gateway, would I have tried both the WAN2GW (192.168.20.20) and the GW_OP1 (External IP)

                            Neither seem to work?

                              that subnet from where you want to ftp trafic to go out, usually lan.
                              but if you have like opt3 from where you want to trafic to go out then you should change the rule to opt3 interface and any other concerning things also
