UPDATED: 2002-04-17 ************************************************************ * this feature is in the official wget as of 1.8 and later. * see the ``--limit-rate'' option of these wget versions. ************************************************************ ============================================================================= these patches add support for throttling the bandwidth usage of wget. after applying, you get a new option --bandwidth which takes the amount of __bytes__ per second you want wget to use. The following would accordingly limit wget to 2kb/s: wget --bandwidth=2048 http://example.com/the_whole_universe.tar have fun. if you want to use it with a newer version of wget than i provide patches for, drop me a note, and i'll prepare the patch and post it here. maybe this feature gets added to the official wget eventually? regards, -lukas schroeder
