I set an upper limit of 512Kb (my total up is 768). I absolutely love it too. I haven't touched those settings for what seems like a year now and I never shutdown the torrents anymore for bandwidth. I surf the web, ssh, vpn, rdp, and even play shooters and games which require low-latency without any slowdown. the most i ever have to do is make sure the ports that the game uses is in the traffic shaper queue for games. and believe me, we do a lot of torrents... ever since i showed my wife that she could get japanese tv shows they don't show here from torrents she alone pulls ~60GB a month probably. when i brag about pfSense this is probably one of the first things out of my mouth.
