Back again with this topic.
Things still don't work as expected.
So, for the moment I have 2 PCs behind a Mikrotik router.
The problem is that the one connected to ether2 eats as much bandwith as possible, leaving almost nothing for the one connected on ether3, so that surfing is very very slow.
What are my options to solve this problem?
(Prioritize traffic, dynamic bandwith allocation, others?)
To make things worse:
-one of the PCs is left for download(dc++/emule/torrents) 24/7.
-I have different bandwith limitations from the ISP: external 2mbps down.1 mbps up and metropolitan which varies a lot, and goes up to 100mbps.
-the PCs are behind the router but in 2 different networks(i don't think that this is such a big problem, but I've mentioned it anyway)
The idea is that I cannot limit the 24/7 PC to a fixed bandwidth because I'd sacrifice the metropolitan speeds. I think you get my point, right?
So, what can I do to make surfing, on the PC connected to ether3, snappier and a bit faster?
