I just want to toggle the alternative speeds while Plex is streaming outside my house. I couldn’t find anything while looking around except for some old scripts that haven’t been updated in years.

    Thanks, I guessed that you can identify, maybe with openwrt, the torrent traffic, in order to bind the qos rule to torrent.

      You could probably do that, unless you are using a VPN.

      The router will only know that there is torrent VPN traffic but It would not know if it were torrenting or someone watching Netflix.

      If you only use VPNs for torrenting then it’s not a problem, so you could just limit all VPN traffic. If you use VPNs for other stuff, it could get annoying having all your traffic limited.

      You could use the two bandwidth limits in torrenting programs and switch between a low limit and a high limit when you want. It’s not automatic though .
