[Download RAW message or body]

As we all know, almost any network activity is a two-way traffic when we 
look at IP packets.
So, anyone downloading a new kernel is essentially sending packets, too.


Now, is it possible to distinguish "uploads" from "downloads" with 
l7-filter?

For example, can l7-filter distinguish if someone is downloading a file 
or uploading it using bittorrent? Or SSH: distinguish if we connect 
somewhere, or if "somewhere" is connecting to us?

Perhaps not for all protocols, but for some?
