Re: [opensuse] Bandwidth usage and capping per application
Abstract wrote: Hello All, I recently loaded the NetSpeed applett and I think its very neat. Kudos to the devs behind it. However, it raised a couple of questions in my head. Is there a way to limit the bandwidth uses by a specific application at the OS level? For example, if I want to download an ISO i don't want to use up all my bandwidth, how about if i allocate it 50%? I know Azuerus allows things like this, but does anyone know of anything else? Good old wget has the limit-rate option that approximates this. -- Geir A. Myrestrand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
