Hello,
I have only one cliente that has a program that is not p2p and he downloads movies 24/7. How can I put a control on this issue.
I realy dont know what file extention this movies are, from what I know there is avi and mpeg, what else is out there? and what rules and how i can control this ?

You cannot control it by file extension.
Instead, try using Tools->Torch from Winbox, putting in his IP as the source address, and watch to see which port(s) he’s using the most bandwidth on. Once you do that, you might even be able to search Google for that port number and find out what program it is.
Once you have verified or are pretty sure you have the right port and protocol (TCP or UDP for instance), you can now mark packets for this port in IP->Firewall->Mangle and then setup either a Simple Queue or a Queue Tree that uses this packet mark, and just set a speed limit on it.
For instance, say the program used port 7082/tcp, you would do something like this:
/ip firewall mangle src-address=10.0.0.52/32 dst-port=7082 protocol=tcp action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=custXfileshare
/queue simple add name="customer X file sharing" packet-marks=custXfileshare target-address=10.0.0.52/32 max-limit=65536/65536
This would limit their file sharing to 64k up/down.
(I’m not sure I did the simple queue correctly.)
great,
thanks i will do that
