Hi Kenneth,
 I've taken a look to wondershaper and I think this is a half-solution for
me.
I can set up priority by port-number and other properties but I think I
can't separate packet which is a part of a 70KB gif image (part of a web
page) or it's a part of a 800MB CD image coming from a website also. This is
my problem.

Thanks, Gabor.
