Hi,
DNews doesn't have a method to restrict overall bandwidth use, only limit on a per-channel basis. The information is stored for each channel, not centrally, so it wouldn't be a simple process to add an additional overall limit to the code.
Your best approach would be to do this using packer filtering so you can limit overall traffic (E.g. using pf or ipfw, iptables on Linux may be able to do this too). This would waste bandwidth if you assumed the link was constantly used to the maximum at times when it wasn't.
If you create user accounts, you can limit users to a daily quota, and just apply rate limiting to the incoming feed(s). This can be done in DNews in either access.conf, or for all channels in dnews.conf by setting 'max_speed' in characters per second.

I am planning on running a small server. I am only allow 1000 gigs per month (500 gigs in 500 gigs out)
What should I do with max speed setting to ensure I don't go over that. Do I also need to set a speed for max in and max out or just max speed for whole server?
Thanks for you help
