Traffic Shaping problem resilient to further analysis.

Hi, all.

My network :
I and other stations have access to the Internet through an ADSL
modem/router on LAN ; no other hardware, no other LAN segment.

What I want:
I want to throttle the Internet download rate of my own work station
without disturbing others' or pure LAN traffic.

The configuration :
On my Eternet LAN of ip/mask 192.168.2.0/24 I have static IP 192.168.2.2
and my gateway has IP 192.168.2.1 (an ADSL modem + 4-port Ethernet SWITCH).

The problem:
I didn't manage to setup proper QoS/Shaping policies.

Here are the commands I executed in order :

I don't understand where is the mistake ; I'd have expeted a much slower
download for the 2nd try.

Could please someone help me.
Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Sorry, it is still me :-(
'answering' to my own question :

For a few days now, I've been collecting a very wide and complete set
of references, walkthrough and other documents about Traffic Shaping and
Quality of Service under Linux (and under Cisco and under Windows ...
moreover I've got complete knowledge speaking of General concepts) so
that I'm now convinced I've got sufficient knowledge and understanding
to manage to set up properly my own rules UNDER LINUX.

But my original post denotes the fact that an error of mine has passed
unnoticed ; despite my deep understanding of both QoS/Scheduling/Shaping
theory and Linux implementation.

So, I would be grateful if you would tell me about people that use
Hierarchical-Token-Bucket-(HTB)-based Scheduling that could help me to
shape (limit) my inbound Internet traffic. It would be of great help too
if you could introduce me some people that could fix my problem another
way ;-) I'm not a HTB-ist, I just think it should be both very simple
and very efficient when set up properly.

I would be pleased to discuss more profoundly the subject with other
fiend people.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
A.A.
