I played around with rsync sometime ago and remember that it has an option for
limiting bandwidth. I don't know if it really works, or how good it works,
etc. I tried it really quick for smaller bandwitdh and did not notice any
difference yet, but I might did something wrong. I had to drop the 'play
around with rsync' since other priorities came up. But you might want to take
a look at it, if you haven't. Of course, the FM is : man rsync
I don't know 'bout Kazzaa though.
I'd like to know if the rsync option works for you, and would appreciate it if
you give us report back on what you do to achive this at some point later,
for the rest of us to learn :)
