In my network, when someone is downloading big files, the internet speed is going down for everyone else.

So what I want to do is, when someone starts downloading a file, he will download first 5 megabytes with normal speed, then the speed will go down, for example, to 100kbps.

Is it possible to do it in Squid 2.7?

I would normally use wondershaper to limit network speed on my linux box, but it appears that it's not in the repository for puppy nor did I have luck running the wondershaper executable I've downloaded.

I had to install puppy on sister PC because it's an older PC. Is there a command or an app which would allow me to limit the network speed on puppy linux?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm working in an office and as part of my job I have to download the occasional ISO or other huge file. Now we have a gateway that can limit my bandwidth but I'd rather not bother the guys with that and was wondering if anyone knew of an easy way to put a speed limit on my downloads, from my own computer?

thanks,
