Ubuntu Networking :: Eats Up Bandwidth When Downloading
May 3, 2010
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...
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.
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.
I created a the class like this for shaping the packets with a specified bandwidth rate.....
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 15 tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 750kbit ceil 750kbit tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate 600kbit ceil 750kbit prio 0
For Our Requirement:-
I dont want to specify the bandwidth rate strictly like this rate750kbit ceil 750kbit,based on whatever speed is coming which should allocate the bandwidth rate for particular class...I need one application for finding the upcoming bandwidth & Is any other method is there for specify the bandwidth rate in a classes.
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.
You may have seen some other posts by me about my final year college project. Im implementing a web based network management website. Iv got a lot of the functionality working at this stage but one part is allocating bandwidth.
Iv got an eircom 3mb broadband connection and I want to be able to split this between users. At the moment I only have my desktop and laptop on the network. Im looking for advice on how i can allocate bandwidth with iptables and/or the tc tool in ubuntu.
My website is on an ubuntu virtual machine and written in php. Whatever about running the iptables and tc commands from php I still need to figure out the actual commands i need to use in the first place.
which is approximately HALF the space than actually needed. Is this increase due to ecryptfs? Also I noticed that the hidden folders are not shown. Are the hidden files within the shown folders included in this list? How do I show a summary which includes the hidden files?
No doubt Psychess is a very nice game for playing chess. I was playing this game often. But one thing I observed today is Psychess starts to eat 100% CPU right after the moment we start the game. I came to know about this after observing the "System Monitor" applet graph on the panel. This must not be normal because it's common sense when developer develops a software they always consider the CPU usage.. Even when I develop scripts I always give a sleep after heavy resource usage. For the record, I installed DreamChess and it works fine.
Since this is my number 1 place for asking questions, I figured I would go here first. So I live in New Zealand where good internet doesn't exist yet, and I'm in a flat with 3 other people and we get 40gb a month which hasn't been lasting more than 2 weeks. It is somewhat of a mystery where all our data has gone, so I need a way to monitor usage. We use a variety of operating systems including linux, xp & windows 7 on my pc, and xbox 360. Is there any kind of integrated solution I can use to monitor everything with password protection so it can't be disabled? I have tried looking in the router, but it doesn't give me many statistics, and I think it combines lan with wan usage. At this stage I don't have the money to make a linux box to put between the router and the switch that can monitor everything, but if it comes to it, I will shell out for one.
What are the commands available in ubuntu to share & divide the incoming Bandwidth in Ubuntu? I am developing a Network management application for ubuntu in java. I am going to use it in server.Also I want to know about the networking commands available in Ubuntu.
I would like to set up a logging system for rtorrent, the only way that i could think of this would be to set up bandwidth moniters in the ip tables but im not sure how to go around this.
I am renting a VPS from[URL].They do not supply a webhosting panel for restarting/shutting down or for seeing monthly bandwidth consumtion. I am running CentOS 5.3. I was wondering if theres any programs that you can install to view monthly/daily bandwidth consumption on our server?
I wish to setup my spare PC as a router. I was wondering what programs, in ubuntu, I can use to monitor and change settings concerning bandwidth usage. I want to throttle down a computer in my network so what program would be good for this?
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?
I have an Ubuntu box, and there are two another PCs with Windows XP at my home.There is a TP-Link WR340GD wireless broadband router, and a Motorola SB5101E cable modem. Maximum download speed of the Internet connection is about 6 Mbit/sec.While I'm starting some download processes on the Ubuntu box, the other two PCs get only small bandwidth according to their users, although download speed on my computer does not often exceed its maximum.
More precisely: I usually download files at approx. 1 Mbit. The other users complain about that I slow down the Internet connection at their computers, and tell me to stop using the Internet.Is it possible to improve the usage of internet bandwidth, and share the connection fairly between computers
I have an ubuntu machine connected to my network which is used as a Minecraft server, storage, and a subsonic server for music. For the most part, the only person using these services, especially during downtime, is just me at home. Which is why I'm surprised that 2-days ago I detected that my network was being slowed to a crawl. There I found that the ip connected to my ubuntu was moving around 170,000 kb on my Netlimiter 3 program.
I have no idea why that is, I closed my ports that were forward for the ubuntu servers, but the bandwidth keeps leaking. Disconnecting the network from the ubuntu computer or turning off the computer stops the odd downloading and uploading. If anybody would have any information of what I can check or shut down in Ubuntu, please let me know. I'm fairly a beginner to the OS, but haven't been able to find a similar problem on this forum.
very slow internet connection with a download speed of only five kbps and my problem is i have many softwares installed which startup during my boot and i can see network activity in the system monitor that some software is using my internet speed and all other important downloads run slow...Can anybody tell me some softwares which tell me which software is using my internet bandwidth, I tried iftop and it shows only the connection between client and server with ip address ...I need softwares which tell the software using the internet bandwidth
I'm on 9.10 and I use huludesktop often to watch my Hulu queue. Every once in a while (and more so lately) the video freeze and the sound stutters. I then find that pulseaudio is taking 100% of a CPU (I have a quad core AMD 64bit machine). Killing pulseaudio causes huludesktop to continue without sound and a new pulseaudio starts up. I have to kill huludesktop and resume playback and then everything's OK, until it happens again.
If I use K9Copy to compress a 6.4 gb DVD to a 4.4gb ISO files, it heats up the CPU and the machine shuts off. When I do this with system monitor ON, I see 160% to 180% CPU usage. I guess this is due to dual core on my Gateway laptop.Then I installed DVD Shrink and tried the same by running DVD Shrink using Wine. This caused the same problem.I did not have this issue when I was using Windows Vista. Is there anything that I can do to avoid this problem?
Im looking for a program to monitor the ammount of bandwidth usage per network. Ex: I have lots of networks connected to one server, and i would like to know for example how much is the average bandwitdh usage for network 172.16.2.0/24 and 172.16.5.0/24 for one hour, for example.
I'm doing some simulations (using Iperf) to obtain throughputs values of a link between two gigabit ethernet cards for different delays and different drop probability (using netem) .... Now I have to do a 3minute long simulation in which during the firstnute the bandwidth is 1000Mbit/s, 500Mbit/s during the second minute and 1000Mbit/s during ththird one....Does anybody know how can i do this type simulation
I am trying to limit bandwidth of certain ip addresses on my server. I have been doing hours of reading and not getting very far...
So far I believe the iptables command is:
And now I just need the tc command to read those marks and limit bandwidth, I have a gigabit connection and would like to limit each of these ip addresses to 10mbit in and out.
Calculating the available bandwidth methods IGI/PTR,PATHLOAD,SLOPS,PACKET PAIR...
I gone through above methodogies ,when i finish one methods(IGI/PTR) i came to know,one application should run in client side and another application should run in server side (i.e,) Internet Service Provider side,
In IGI/PTR method ./ptr-client.c & ./ptr-server.c is there .,if we want available bandwidth,I Should run ./ptr-client.c (in myside)correspondingly ./ptr-server.c then only we wil get a availble bandwidth...
My need is without run any application on the server side ./ptr-server.c like that,but I should develop the application only on client side (in my routerside based on linux)..
1:whether it is possible to get the available bandwidth run application in client side only?.if possible. how i implement the code in client side( only )for getting the available bandwidth ...whether any source code is available?...
I am Network Administrator in a Degree College managing around 2500 Comps. My ISP has terminated its Internet link (15 Mbps) to our Linux Server (Installed 2 NIC) from where Internet connection is extended to rest of the machines in network. I am supposed to send different bandwidth to different departments say 5 Mbps to Hostel, 2 Mbps to Staff room etc. I am new to linux and don't know anything about Bandwidth Management in linux.
I am connected with LAN. We have many computers with different OS viz.linux, windows etc. Now I want to know the bandwidth every computer is getting and using. Is there any Ubuntu packages to monitor this?
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 looking for some utility that will measure my network bandwidth use and report it in ways that are human readable. Specifically, I want something that I can use to stay ahead of my mobile broadband plan's usage metering.
