You can only limit outgoing traffic, so if you want to limit your incoming downloads, you must have a Linux gateway on which you can set the outgoing limit to the local clients. And yes, you can define TOS (Type Of Services) and keep, for instance, telnet and ssh very responsive even while all available bandwidth is gobbled up by big downloads ;-) Links : http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/cbq.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/cbqinit Matthias -- Matthias Saou World Trade Center ------------- Edificio Norte 4 Planta System and Network Engineer 08039 Barcelona, Spain Electronic Group Interactive Phone : +34 936 00 23 23 _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
