NETGEAR RangeMax. NEXT Wireless Router WNR834B

A few months ago I  bought this router when there was an ongoing deal for refurbs.More details about the deaal @ http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/865548?highlight_key=y&keyword1=WNR834B&lastpage=1
My main reason for buying this router was so that I could put open source firmware DD-wrt on it.Now that I have it for couple of months , Im overall happy with it.
Putting DD-WRT on it was very easy and it did unclock quite a few new features which the stock firmware lacked.Overall the router with DD-WRT is quite stable considering that I do a lot of legal bittorrenting .
I have to admit that I really could not get the QOS working on this correctly.Overall the symptoms were that for anything that I put with the Bulk priority in it it would just use 1/10th of the badnwidth when all the other bandwidth was available.So I feel maybe there is a bug somewhere or maybe something is wrong with my configuration.For the timebeing I don't use QOS on this router.
