I host large files but have a fairly limited allowable bandwidth allocation. While this plan works out for the most part, I have two users, who when downloading, use a highly disproportional share of the bandwidth. This creates exceptionally slow speed for other users at the time.
There is nothing noticeably exceptional about these users connections. Both have a standard cable connections are are located on opposite sides of the country, thousands of miles from the actual server. Both are limiting themselves to downloading only one file at a time. The server seems to do a reasonable job of proportionally allocating bandwidth between other users, except for these two guys. The pipe will open up for them and leave everyone else a trickle.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to tell the server to allocate bandwidth to these guys in a proportional manner, but if necessary I'd be happy if someone could give me the advice on how to limit their speed, to some predetermined set amount.
