How to prioritize bandwidth in linux

1

I have a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian acting as a 24x7 downloading server. I am now trying to utilize it with SiriProxy but it fails as it needs to upload/download data from Apple servers which fails because we have downloads running in background not leaving enough datapipe for Siriproxy to work as expected. I studied trickle but it is not what I need as it permanently limits the bandwidth for an application, I need something which will work like nice command prioritizing network for Siriproxy only when needed.

This did the trick for me - http://www.funtoo.org/Traffic_Control, just edited rules in the script provided as per my needs and everything works as expected.
