    Hi

    Is it possible to throttle the bandwidth on a per process base ?
    I’ve been using Amazon S3 for backup ( quite happy with it ) and in order to avoid losing all my tiny upstream I’m currently using these tricks I’ve learned here:

    sudo ipfw pipe 3 config mask dst-ip 0x000000ff bw 200Kbit/s
    sudo ipfw add pipe 3 ip from any to any out

    but whenever I have to copy files through a network it also hits this limit.

    I guess I could:

    – do the S3 thing on SSL and limit that port or
    – throttle the upload only on port 80

    But I feel I may fall in another trap again someday. What I really wanted was to limit the only the s3sync process’s bandwidth. Is it possible ?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks,
    I don’t know how wide a range can be, since I know they use several IPs and domains, but I’ll try.
