hi all
I've got a very lo spec setup on my dsl conexion
win 98 running apache then few other win boxes as clients

our site is attracting so much hits (mp3 downloads) that the dsl line is getting too blocked up for the clients to get on the internet (via windoze CRAP internet sharing)...also the mp3 hogs seem to block the server up so others can't view pages...

now there are pretty obvious solutions:
1, dump windoze
2. get a better box for the server
3. get a router/hub to dealwith the connection sharing....

i know
but in the meantime, + for the sake of understanding apache...
how can i restrict the downloaders to a reasonable amount of bandwidth?? i don't rilly want to ban them with a firewall,or i could move the mp3s to a ftp server, but i reckon apache should be able to sort this one out, no?

You can limit the bandwith with a module, I have seen it but have no experience with it myself so you will have to do a search.
