I would like to throttle just those files/directory. I already use iproute2 (MANGLE) for directing certain traffic out of my multi-homed server. Thx for all the ideas guys.

But if you like to do it the admin way: " why make things easy when you can make things hard" Then you can install a squid proxy server that sits between the client and the webserver... Then with the squid you can configure that all client can not us over a certian amout of bandwidth, and you also do such advanced stuff like lower the bandwidth for a specific user if he starts downloading a file that is over a certain size... /Oscar, www.bhood.nu Jeremy Brooking wrote: >Just thinking, a very simple solution to the original problem.
