No, not every bit, but to limit somehow , per user how much he can use for download
it's a simple mp3 service, not something fancy so i can even count per 1MB or so, or even a larger scale.. right now i'm counting every download, (with resume support and multiple connections) but if the user somehow cancels the download and starts again i'm reducing from his bandwidth.. i was thinking of using some bw mod, and using for each user a .htaccess file with it's own conf...if that's possible, what would be very very helpfull if i could somehow query my MySQL db, and check his remaining traffic, and update every say..10Mb or so... that would be great... so far..i don't know of an existence of such a module Ray Morris wrote: > >> do i have to count every bit? > > You have to count every bucket, and do it carefully > because there are some pitfalls you run into when you > implement it in the real world.
