   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.
