does anyone know how to limit bandwidth..

[BlackDeath]

does anyone know how to limit bandwidth on your site like when you hit your max limit a *.cgi or *.php file writes a .htaccess file or something and redirects you to another page saying bandwidth has exceeded

i need a script like this so i never go over my limit and i do use paid hosting

and also if possible for Sub Folders so i can give some of my space and limit BW at the same time

somone please help iv been asking free hosts and no one responds the reason why is everyone uses stupid auto responders :(

this is a must have script

[rapmaster]

humm the only thing I could suggest whould be a log type script that meausres the size of the file accessed, add's it up, and then checks a max size kinda thing for it. If you'd like me to attempt to wrote one for you PM me and I'll send you the details of what would have to be done(it's pretty completcated as far as I understand it)

that'd be tough... you'd need to run everything viewed through that certain script... which people could easily get around.

And that script would use a lot of resources and bandwidth. Your host should give you a page you can log in to see that info.

i do get to see how much i use but your bandwidh usage can shoot up real fast

i got 2 phpBB's and phpNuke on my site and soon as my site opens its going to be hard on it lots of connections to mySQL

i think it's safe to say transfer limiting/bandwidth throttling can only be done directly from the server/hub/what-have-you. you can't simply run a script on your site and have it limit the transfer.

solution: impossible

ya you can a thing called .htaccess and make it redirect people to another page

when the file checks to see how much BW is used in your log and if it sees its going over the limit you set, the file will write a .htaccess file to your directory cutting off traffic

here is a example of one i found but i know its not free

and there also is a mod for apache im going to see if my host can install it for me they will install almost anything you need as long as it doesnt effect other hosted sites
