Bandwidth capping scripts for members area?
 

I'm looking 4 a script to limit the amount of bandwidth used by trial members inside my members area. Last week a few fuckers went in there and were downing alot of shit. I know NastyDollars have a script that limits the amout of gigs dl by their members. Anyone know where I can get something like that?!

Slim!

if you have a dedicated server then its easy, if you arnt having a dedicated server i think you have problem.

if you need help for installation for mod_throttle, you can contact me.

Actually mod throttle is not what he wants unless he wants to cap his members area as a whole and not on a user basis.

There might be a couple of ways to go about this but it would most likely involve a revamp of your members area as there is no plugin play possibility for it really.

You want to go through mod_rewrite and count the bytes,
then cut them off at X bytes. It's not that hard to do once
you understand the rewrite rules and the standard BSD DB
database.

...or if you're lazy, signup with something like Pennywize.


As mentioned before though, if you're on a virtual, you're in
for an uphill battle. It can be done with a CGI, but it's going
to no fun implementing.

Thanks 4 the help! I think I'll just get lazy and try Pennywise. I shoot content for christ sake, messing around with this mod thing is just 2 advanced for me :321GFY

we are going to start this on monday. you should get in touch with isprime.

i know bandwidth is cheap but what is a reasonable daily cap on it?

300KB

done :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

What about pennywize?

mod_throttle's ThrottleRemoteUser function can cap on a user basis.

Slim... I talked it over with the boneprone family programer I was talking about last night and he can do this with ease for ya.

Better than pennywise.

YOu have an ICQ message man.

Consider it done.

ANd put the BP4L back in your profile.

I think Nastydollars caps it at 500Mb, but not sure about that

Thanks for the help boss! That programmer is great...another advantage of being BP4L! :thumbsup
