Hi all, |
2 |
Here in Australia the internet access plan I have is capped at 12GB |
3 |
downloads/month during "peak" hours and then an additional 24GB/month during |
4 |
"offpeak" hours, ie 2am - 9am. Rather than sit up until 2am to kick off a |
5 |
download, I was wondering if it was possible to somehow throttle a connection, |
6 |
or even a port, so that I could kick off the down load at say 11pm with the |
7 |
connection throttled to only a few KB/s and then at say 2am, a cron job will |
8 |
unthrottle it back to its full speed hence making most use of the offpeak time. |
9 |
I'm currently using gshield on top of iptables as my firewall. |

Any thoughts greatly appreciated. |
