There once was a program in portage call net-misc/trickle, I used to use it |
| 11 |
for bittorrent downloads to throttle download speeds across multiple |
| 12 |
instances. It had not been updated since 2003 and so was dropped from |
| 13 |
portage (which is a shame, since it is probably the only program of |
| 14 |
its kind). Its home page is |

Other than that, you probably would need to think about stuff like |
| 18 |
iproute2 with tcng... do a search on packages.gentoo.org for "traffic |
| 19 |
control" or "packet shaping". |

I remember walking to school through the snow, |
| 24 |
uphill both ways, in my bare feet. Oh, now wait... |
| 25 |
never mind, that was my father. |
