I currently have a queue tree (up and down) setup for my home network and its works well. Now I want to setup PCQ to divide the bandwidth. I’ve added the rule to the simple queue as according to the packet flow in v6 it happens after the normal queue tree. This seems to work as intended and I can see the PCQ queues getting made.
Using my queues below as an example, what I now want to know is (pcq rate is = 0 btw): Say 2 users are busy on the network. User1 is downloading from a very very crap webserver and his download speed is capping out at something low like 100kb/s. This goes into the HTTP queue. If user number 2 now tries to download something like FTP which is a different queue, will he still only get half of my overall max-limit and thus loosing out on bandwidth because user1 is downloading from a slow website?

Should i rather change my child queues to PCQ instead of using a simple queue?
