At work I have a 1.5GHz P4 box sitting in NATed DMZ behind the 1.22 
C3-800/128MB monowall handling the company's fiber. For two weeks after the 
Fedora 6 release I had it running bittorrent with some of the isos, limited 
to ~700k/sec, and I never saw anything bad happen. It had an amazing number 
of connections.
Can you bring your box down with bittorrent too?

The only problem I have with that particular monowall is that whenever I try 
to bring up the firewall states page, it says:
Oct 25 10:14:50 m0n0 /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
Oct 25 10:14:50 m0n0 /kernel: pid 179 (ipfstat), uid 0, was killed: out of 
swap space
I've never seen that one before. I'm going to flatten, rebuild, and compare.
