I guess you could change the txqlen on eth0 before setting up the htb,
but I would just make a script and use qdiscs.

limit 10 may be a bit short, also you could consider other qdiscs to
pfifo eg. if you wanted some fairness between flows you could use sfq or
fq_codel.

sfq defaults would be fine fq_codel may need some parameters tweaking
for lower bit rates, though I haven't properly tested it yet, just
guessing from what man tc-fq_codel says.
