Hi!

Short: Is there an application to limit the amount of data
downloaded by an application like trickle does it for bandwidth?

Long: I'm using one of these vserver providers which sets a
limit on the amount of data for up- and downloads.
I want provide some bandwidth to the Debian project and
use torrent to share the new etch cds. Is it possible to
stop the torrent after 10 GB upload? I cannot use in-kernel
traffic shaping, because this is not possible in the vserver.
Or is there another way to do this?


Helmut

Check out tc, it's part of the iproute package.

Is tc capable of limiting data transfer to 10GB? I only
found ways to limit bandwidth and not the amount of data transfered
on manpage and http://lartc.org/. Limiting bandwidth by 10GB/d/h/m/s
is also not the thing I want to do, because 4kb/s is not what
would be usefull. If I missed the point here would be realy
appreciated.

It's not possible to change the used kernel either because I'm
using a virtual server where I can't replace the kernel.

Cheers
Helmut
