ok i did every thing byes bits i achieve the gole but value as per my calculation is wrong. can you please tell me which value do you think i shell put to limit download till 10MB then bandwidth may limit to specific bytes. i tries 1024000 it wokes till 1 MB file downloaded in full speed after that things got limited as instructed but when i use 1024000000 it give me only a lil above 5 MB download then bandwidth limits activate . i can not actually get the point here why it is limiting so early as i am expecting files to be downloaded till 10 however i manage that by double the value things work well but still logic is not clear in my mind Thanks.
