Well spotted Tim,

Sorry about that :)

You are quite right about the s/g/q/ - that is what happens when you rush 
emails between family etc.

The major oprtimization that I did was to move my homerun to it's own 
network. Yes, I had to install a DHCP server on my myth box, but I also 
record to a NFS share. In my case, the traffic would easily peak over 
100meg.

Cheers,

Pieter
