Bandwidth limiting
This is another one for the todo list. A program which does bandwidth limiting of anything run after it.
Something like “limit -d 25K aptitude upgrade” would limit aptitude to a total download speed of 25KB/s.
How to implement this? Good question, dunno if it’s possible to use the QoS stuff in linux, but using LD_PRELOAD trick and trapping send/recv might be easier.
