Well you could just download the wondershaper script and try that. To be useful you'd need to limit your upload on both the sending and receiving machines.

If this is what you want, I'd recommend reading up on iptables and creating a very simple one rather than what wonder shaper's doing. You also shouldn't need the download policing section provided you set the upload on all machines involved in such a way that bandwidth to that machine is limited. (Policing is somewhat wasteful as opposed to shaping that is only possible on uploads. The reason being is the only way I know to force a downlink to slow down is to drop packets deliberately so TCP/IP notices this and slows down.)

Of course my real recomendation would be to fix the underlying problem, but that might require new hardware of some kind.

My Epia Myth box ALWAYS locks up whenever I do a file transfer (scp, ftp, etc.)
across my local LAN at home.  However, it does fine when downloading files from
the Internet.  I've read a few posts that say the Epias have trouble with DMA
and such, and so I'm guessing that if I could reduce the transfer speed, then I
might be able to keep it from locking up.

So, does anyone know a way to limit transfer speeds?  The best would be options
that I could pass to FTP or SCP.  For HW/SW, I've got a Netgear WG511 and I'm
using Linuxant's driverloader, since Prism54 had problems with powering the
PCMCIA socket.

Any suggestions on how to limit network speeds would be great!

Thanks,
Micah
