According to man trickle, -u sets a limit for uploading -d sets for
downloading. Maybe you want to use trickle -d 8?

Andrea I want to limit the UPLOAD bw to allow the VOIP in the company!

Fernando: my apologies, I misunderstood your report.
I tried it again, and I can confirm your findings under both Hardy and Gutsy.
Looks like using -u alone sets the download to 10; using both -u and -d sets
the download to the desired speed.
Confirming this bug.

I can reproduce exactly the same the behavior on my machine.
Kubuntu - Hardy with the todays update installed.
Adding the -d option works, so
trickle -u 8 -d 1000 wget -c
http://neacm.fe.up.pt/pub/ubuntu-releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
limits the download spped to 1000 K/s

Ok, just to clear things out.
trickle -u 8 wget -c http://neacm.fe.up.pt/pub/ubuntu-
releases/gutsy/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
produces the same behavior, it limits the dl rate to 10 k/s, which it shouldnt
do i think.
My native understanding is that -u option shouldnt touche the dl rate in
