That's generally a buffering issue, what NIC card are you running in the pfsense box?

If you have a newer card, it might be advised to put it in, that card is quite ancient.
That said, it would only be an issue as you start to max out the incoming speed.

If you run a speedtest or download something at full speed, run a ping test, you may see data starts to get lost.

IIRC, that card is over 12 years old, there' much better hardware you can get for $10

Those older cards don't have the buffers that can keep up with out modern internet.

I'm assuming you have 60/10?

10/1

rarely used a 100%

most of time i use 2-4mpbs constant dl

i assume the high number of connection that is caused by p2p are the responsible of the errors :P

how to determine a good NIC

what to look before to buy

i dont see any cache spec on any cards:P

what are the things to watch

there most be better chips than other too
i assume that there is more than the chip manufacturer

For your needs, something with a realtek chipset will work fine.
RTL8168/8111 or 8169 all are cheap and will suit that box well. Most off brand cards have the realtek chipset. Look for the little crab on the main chip.
