This has been implemented in the newest 1.4 Beta version of IPCop, but there has been an Add on for the 1.3 version also. Unfortunately, I have not had a play with the new version yet, or using this add on. IPCop is very simple to setup and manage. Highly recommended.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ipcop/ Grab the 1.4.0b1 and the patch just above it. Boot the CD on an old PC with 2 nics and run the setup. There are good docs at the IPCop web site for the install and patching process. http://www.ipcop.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/IPCop/WebHome Ciao, Dave -----Original Message----- From: Phill Coxon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 9 March 2004 5:19 p.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: HTTP / FTP proxy server that limits download rate? I haven't had any experience with proxy servers before. I'm on a network with 5 others using a 128k DSL connection and when those pesky windows users (Grrr) start downloading the gigantic windows updates they suck up our entire bandwitdh for ages. Anyone know if there is an easy way to set up an http proxy server that limits the transfer rate of downloads - for example, to 50% of the available bandwidth? Thanks. -- Phill Coxon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
