Adjusting downloading/uploading speed?

[AmigaMance]

  Hi.
 I see that only a small fraction of the available Amiga internet clients support this function. One that i can remember right now is AmiTradeCenter.
 Is there a way to control dl/ul speed globally in AOS 3 and MOS?

maximum download and upload speed is regulated by your internet provider...you can degrade one or both using your head and coding a new program cause miami or genesis/amitcp haven't settings for that
anyways why you want degrade?


bye

 I know that Amiga tcp/ip stacks doesn't have this feature, but i believe that it's something not so hard to implement. Thus i thought to ask in case there is a patch for this or something. I think it's just a matter of patching the network device (cnet, serial, etc) but it may not be so simple, i don't know.

 It can be useful in many situlations.
 For example, when you have a slow connection and you dowload and upload files simultaneously. It would be useful to limit the upload bandwith in favour of the download one.

It would be useful to limit the upload bandwith in favour of the download one.

IMO traffic shaping is the job for the router. Say for example debian/ubuntu/deriviate boxen acting as router: apt-get install wondershaper .. then configure the desired up and down capping speed.

This way the traffic is shaped globally, for all the connected machines (even if they don't support any limiting).

Amigamance,

I know that sometimes is convenient degrade download speed to salve bandwidth for another tasks like browsing
but that is concerned to every task or program...because if the program that you are using use the full bandwidth and that program haven't settings you can't do anything

I think you are looking for a patch or program to regulate the bandwidth of any task....but I think that still not exists....
or maybe impossible to do

be the first and code one

The problem with download speed getting slow due to uploading is trivial to fix with shaping (such tools as wondershaper).

There's nothing magical about this stuff.

Is this why my download speeds crawl when I'm running a filesharing app which is uploading a lot of data even though it is not downloading very much at all?
