I can see a logic for files (large) sent via the filegate using a torrent type
system but it would be very difficult to exclude specific classes of traffic
i.e., mail.

The general speed of the internet is enough already for the purpose - 
providing
we do not get large file updates on a frequent time interval such as silly 
game
engines that no one wants to download 

There are one or two sources of these that drives me up the wall at times as
they come from a slow source !

At the moment my (down/up) speeds has gone (over the last 2 months) from
8Mb/800Kb to 17Mb/1.2Mb.

Hopefully when we finally move to our new home in January we will get a
74Mb/20Mb (other speeds including higher are available subject to wallet which
as I am retired is somewhat limited) which should cover anyone/bbs downloading
from me - it is hardly the case that many/any are on their system asking this
to happen but are running as an automated script.
The benefit to me will be to process uploads quicker and get the called/poller
disconnected for the next one but I do allow 2 / 3 at a time to be connected
(can't remember the exact number) but I do run web, ftp, rdbms, mainframe and
other services at the same time and they need bandwidth between them so limit
individual services - must find a way that they can all talk together so this
can be more flexable - very smart switch linked to the router?


So in a nutshell - no, not really a useful function for mbse or for that 
matter
any other bbs/mail system.
