We were looking for a way to possibly limit download/upload to each specific computer, or limit our upload speed on a specific port... just wondering if you have any neat software you use.

Currently I'm using Linux 2.4.20 (A minimal Redhat 9 install works fine) with iptables and a script to set up traffic shaping. I use the HTB version of the
wondershaper, and a firewall script I created with
Easy Firewall Generator, with some manual tweaks (multiple forwardings to internal SSH). The wondershaper could be modified to dole out bandwidth more or less evenly between hosts, giveing the spare to anyone who wants it. It will take some reading to do everything you want, but the power you will gain is WELL WORTH the time needed to read documentation. Stock setup, however will do some cool stuff, namly mantaining little or no lad while up/downloading. Also note, that the wondershaper works best with DSL/any line that provides a steady maximum bandwidth, but you will still see benifit on a cable modem.
