fair downloads with flashget, reget etc.

I would like to shape multi-threaded downloaders (like flashget, reget etc.) but I don't want to make a limit on connections less then two (i.e. you download something from an ftp and want to browse this ftp at the same time). I found a pack of utilities - iproute2 and found a patch to linux kernel and iproute2 - esfq which allows to hash queues by destination ip (no matter how many packets are from an ip address - the key of decision is dest ip). But i can't compile it against 2.4.27 (I also tried 2.4.25/26? 2.6.7/8) kernel because these kernels lack RTNETLINK feature. I tried google and I looked through all docs I was able to find, tried some irc channels also, no solution is found yet. If there is anyone here who have ever faced the problem and has the solution please, help me. Perhaps, there is another way to solve the problem, wihtout iproute2 (but I definitely want to use Linux), please point me the way to dig. I simply want to give our ftp users a qualitive service. Thanks in advance :)

NAME
Flush - GTK-based BitTorrent client SYNOPSIS
flush [OPTIONS] [TORRENT_FILE]... DESCRIPTION
Flush is a GTK-based BitTorrent client. You can use it to download files from the BitTorrent network. You can control already running instance, for example, by following commands: flush -o --download-rate-limit=100 flush --start=all FEATURES
* Controlling running instance by command line interface, such as: * Starting/stopping torrents. * Changing download/upload rate limit. * Changing maximum connections limit. * Running many instances with different configs from the same user. * Automatic copying finished downloads to specified directory. * Setting custom download path for each file of the torrent. * Ability to choose torrent file's character set encoding. * Automatic torrents loading from specified directory. * Automatic pausing and removing old torrents. * Temporary pausing and resuming torrents. * Overall and current session statistics. * Creating your own torrent files. * IP filter. OPTIONS
--version Show program version and exit. --help Show help options and exit. --config=DIRECTORY Configuration directory path (default: ~/.flush). --download-rate-limit=SPEED Set download rate limit (KB/s). --upload-rate-limit=SPEED Set upload rate limit (KB/s). --max-uploads=NUMBER Set maximum uploads. --max-connections=NUMBER Set maximum connections. --start={all,downloads,uploads} Start torrents. --stop={all,downloads,uploads} Stop torrents. -o, --only-pass Only pass commands to already running Flush instance. Does not start new instance if it is not running yet. FILES
~/.flush Default configuration directory. BUGS
On startup Flush finds already running instances via DBus session bus. Therefore it is necessary to run Flush in a single session bus (usual in X session bus) to prevent running several instances with one configuration path. Please notice that when you are running Flush from console or by cron, when DISPLAY environment variable is not available, Flush finds already running GUI instance without problems via ${config_path}/dbus_session link, which all GUI instances are creating when they have owned DBus name. This makes it possible to control running Flush GUI instances from cron. AUTHOR
