While I'm sure this is a trivial feature (And I'm not even sure if this can
be implemented on the client side), it would be great if I could set a
variable and effectively throttle the connection... e.g.
POE::Component::Client::FTP->new(
UpstreamSpeedLimit => 28.8, # in kbps
DownstreamSpeedLimit => 1_000, # in kbps
);
Why would I want this? I use a cable modem with AT&T@Home. The connection
is throttled by the router to 128kbps of upstream. However, the way they
do it is kinda nasty... To throttle you, they basically drop all your
packets -- both upstream and downstream -- for a few seconds to keep you
under the cap. Therefore, if I can limit the upstream to something like
90kbps, I won't trigger the nasty hardware limiting. Thanks Matt!
