FWIW, I've seen the exact same ENOBUFS symptoms more than once
with the wm driver and a single torrent session using btpd
without setting any limit to the up- and downloadrate and
clients sucking most of the upload bandwith away.
kern.mbuf.nmbclusters = 16369 at the moment. Will try a larger
nmbclusters value and/or limiting the upload rate next time and
see what happens.
