i saw this David's script to late .. but i am working (80% approximately) with another idea. Something like: ip x.x.x.1 start downloading a file then, after maximum top (300kbs for example), the connection (not IP) is marked and then you can move it for other class with tc. so let see and example. Rate 30kb/s ---------\ 20kb/s \----------\ \ 5kb/s \------------------ 0 300 800 Kb Downloaded So well here you can see that when the limit is reached then the i mark the packet and move to other class with less priority. I know a lot ot bla bla bla but as soon as posible i will post it. Best regards and happy new year. Sebastián A.
