Hello, I just recalled: I had installed lubuntu and it decided on its own to upgrade packages at maximun connection speed. That's when I would have appreciated a slider to choose how much of the connection to use or to have been able to wrap the upgrade command in a trickle command.

I can add this directly to the ticket if the ticket still exists. bkm On Sat, Mar 12, 2011 at 9:03 PM, Jonathan Marsden <[email protected]> wrote: > I would think anyone with the knowledge to configure and use trickle has > the knowledge to do > > sudo apt-get install trickle > > So I am not sure who would benefit from having this as part of the > default set of Lubuntu applications.
