Me too. It's useful even over the LAN. We have a spotty old 10/100M hub that gets burnt whenever I rsynced to it from a 100M host - turning on bwlimit was a MUCH easier fix than worrying about rate-limiting. I'd say leave it be. If anyone has issues with it, then THEY can do network rate-limiting :-) Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
