Appreciate the offer! I am willing to get my hands dirty, and it has,
likewise, been a while. The problem comes in handing it off to others who
aren't willing or can't. :)
Definitely a project worth considering!
Thanks,

A quick and dirty search of the list archives turned up this topic from 5
years ago. I am wondering what libraries (especially those with limited
resources) are doing today to control or moderate bandwidth, e.g., where
viewing video sites uses up excessive amounts of bandwidth?
Thanks for any
I don¹t know about libraries, but there are some technical solutions to
problems like these.
One approach to reducing bandwidth may be bandwidth throttling in the
router settings for the router the library uses. This limits the
download/upload rates for a client or clients and may limit high
