Networking :: Limit Bandwidth For Downloading Files With Squid?
Jan 23, 2010
I want to limit bandwidth for downloading files with squid. I want to reserve bandwidth for other traffic (esp. web browsing). I know about delay pools but I don't understand well. Some users use download managers to download large movie files. I don't want to block downloading but I want to give them limited bandwidth. May be 5KBps or 6KBps because I have only 512Kbps (64KBps) connection.
How to set download limit using SQUID? I want to specify the download limit for a particular list in MB. Is it possible to limit bandwith for some group of machines in network?

I want to use the tc rules for bandwidth control in my lan.i have a linux router(traffic shaper).how i can limit the amount of bandwidth every user has access to per day? For example, any user can't download more than 2 gb per day(or per month).
The information about lan's users(such as a group type,userid,etc.but not any thing about time limiting per user)is in ldap directory on ldap server.the linux server uses ldap server for authentication users when the user login.
We have a sipmle office network set up that we also use use to connect to the internet, however of late the number of users has increased thus slowing internet access. Bandwidth upgrade is not an option thus i have to do bandwidth shaping on our linux router. The question is how do set the squid configs to allow certain IP's range a certain percentage bandwidtheg 60% and furthe divide the rest. Alternatively how can allow certain IPs to have higher bandwidth access.
I Own a netcafe and I want to limit the netspeed for some of the users on the network because some of them maybe use torrent or other ways to eat the bandwidth and the net became so slow for other users.
My task is a way to limit the net speed for some users on the network, I tried a mikrotik RouterOS but it look like a miss to install I wanted an easier way than this, I use linux or windows or any OS to make this task done please help me to do it !!
I want to put a bandwidth limit on the 8000 port. The limit not have to be global! It must be per connection! For example if i put a 20kB/s limit on the 8000 port and I have 3 clients connected to the port, i want that each have the 20kB/s. How can I do that? I readed something about TC, but i don`t know how to use it... I`m a little noobie Sorry for my bad english
Hey when i am downloading any thing using firefox or torrent, the downloading application eats up all the bandwidth, meaning i cannot browse the web simultaneously downloading anything , even Gwibber does not get updated...
recently i rent a xen vps intended to setup a PPTPD vpn server for me and my friends. so we can by-pass the great firewall in china and get back on ....., facebook and stuff. i have already setup the server and i can connect to it without any problem. but i still want to do some further configuration the server:
1. i want to limit the bandwidth to 400k/s per connection. 2. i also want to limit the max connection per user a/c
i have some thoughts on the 2nd requirement. in the user configuration file of /etc/ppp/chap-secret, you can specify the range of ip the user can get, does it limit the max connection per user a/c? or they can connect anyway, just every now and then a box pop up says conflict in IP address?
I am using SQUID 2.6 on cent os. Squid as a proxy server is working fine. I want to manage my bandwidth according to my office staff.Like for top management users may allocate 1 MB and rest of the users as 256 kb.Kindly guide me that how can I do it ?
I'm having problems with squid, and i don't know how to solve them because I'm new to linux. a. Why squid in my computer often does not work? The process has already started (using the command sudo squid start), but the Internet on client computers can not connect. This can be be resolved if the proxy server computer is restarted. Anybody know why is this happen?
b. How do I set the client bandwidth limitation using squid? I want the client computers can only use maximum 60-70 KB / s. Do I need another additional software package?
Is there any way of limiting total download from a particular ip in a month with the help of squid proxy. Through delay pool I beleive we can limit the download speed.But I want total download limit for particular ip or user
So I have a basic knowledge of Fedora, I have a LAMP stack on my box and I was wondering how to setup a router? My roomate is using too much bandwidth on his Nextflix, what's the best way to do this?
I recently read a windows tip which read: - Windows allots 20% of the bandwidth by default for various services like Windows update, spyware checks etc. We can get hold of this bandwith by changing the values of limit reserve bandwidth under QOS packet scheduler. Now my questions: How to limit the bandwidth usage used by ubuntu updates in the above lines?
The limit bandwidth options in U1 don't work for me. I will check the checkboxes and change the values. When I come back later, they are back to being unchecked, with the default values filled back in.
I am newbie for Linux I want to script for bandwidth Limite per user MAC based also how can i add user MAC and where to add? I want per user 16Kbps each user.
In my household a number of people use the internet. Up to a maximum of 3 wired connections and 2 wireless connections at its peak, all connection through my D-LINK G604T router. The problem is, when one person is downloading or watching ..... or whatever, the others using the internet suffer. I've spent hours configuring QoS on my router, and long story short, no matter how I configure it, it just simply does not work. QoS in no way shape or form limits connection speed (which it says it should). Anyway.
I have a spare computer under my desk, and I'd like to know if I could set this up with a (free) linux distro that limits bandwidth speed per connection. For example, of the 1500 kb/ps (about) my modem pulls, is there a way to limit that to 768 or 512 per connection? so person A can still download, person B can still watch ....., and person C can still play counterstrike with a latency under 100. This would solve many, many arguments in my house I am *fairly* good with computers, but if the distro came with documentation and a GUI that would be awesome.
* TL;DR: * Is there a linux distro I can load on a spare computer that limits bandwidth per connection, wireless or otherwise, with good documentation? Failing that is there firmware I can use for my modem (dlink g604t) that would do the same? Failing that do you know of any good hitmen that would solve my family arguments, ahem, permanently?
i configured Squid3 server in my Ubuntu 10.04.Now the ip based and content based blocking is working fine.Now i want to configured bandwidth allocation of ip address and group ip address..pls give the solution
The three I have narrowed it down to are Deluge, BitTornado or Azureus/Vuze (are they different clients??). What I really need to know is which one will allow me greatest control of my torrents, and which one will utitlise bandwidth best for faster downloading. It is important, as I tend to download LARGE torrents (currently have one which is over 200GB in size), but they usually aren't smaller than about 4GB. How much system resources they use are not a major issue, though obviously lighter is preferrable. I just need the speed and control.
Can I, with only the use of IPTABLES, limit the incoming bandwith for a protocol? We have for example servers that have a FTP and HTTP server running and whenever HTTP has a lot of connections open, the other uploads/downloads get a timeout. I know I can limit the number of connections but prefer to limit on protocol level. Is this possible using IPTABLES and if so, can someone indicate how to proceed or provide a link? If it's not possible can someone point me to the right tool for the job?
Can squid do 'fair bandwidth sharing' ? What i mean is, if there is 1 user online on a 4mg line, that user will be using the entire 4mg line speed, and if there are 2 users online, each user will have 2mg line speed, and so on. I have squid cache set up already, but i just need to know how bandwidth distribution/sharing can be handled Can squid also be used to limit/disconnect users after they have used up their allotted bandwidth? [I have a mikrotik router connected to the adsl (for wireless users)]
i Have a Squid Server , i'm Using That for Caching ... i Have 3 Ether on My " Squid Server ". Ether1 : Directly Internet From ISP1 , 2Mbps . Ether2 : Directly Internet From ISP2 , 512 KBps . Ether3 : Connected too LAN . i want All The Files Format with " MP3 , RAR , ZIP , AVI , ... (All Downloads File) " Get From Ether1(ISP1) and WebPages Like " HTML , ASP , CGI , & ... " Get from Ether2(ISP2) i Not Know How to Configure That with My 2 ISP internet.
