Hola Javier,

Thanks for your reply.

Replying to your first question, yes, both upload and download traffic
are accounted towards our monthly cap. Lame ISP, I know, but
unfortuntaly I can't do anything about it, as it's the only game in
town.

I tried this, but it doesn't seem to be making any change at all,
unfortunately. I started a large download from ftp.kernel.org and it
was still coming full steam ahead. I let it go on for a minute or two,
hoping it would eventually start to be throttled, but no dice. Is
there perhaps any iptables command that goes with it, or something?

Thanks for taking the time to look into this, much appreciated!

Regards,

Aidan
