The easiest way to limit bandwidth is to insert a sleep() call after write() in your favorite network utility (here, ftpd). Limiting the number of users is trivial, most enhanced ftpd's will do that automatically, based on config file. We had a little engineer(ing) problem once. ;-) The sleep() thing is VERY cheap but also VERY effective. ... Joe "You Can't Throttle Tftp!" "Oh Yeah? Watch Me."
