For example, you could assign this user an uplink of 12kbps and a downlink of 64kbps. This will ensure that he will still work, and if he chooses to download, he will choke his own usage and not the rest of the guys... -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
