Re: Limiting bandwidth rates on certain files

It is close enough to working that if you have some development skills,
or the inclination to hire someone who does, it could be working in a
few days.

I would not suggest it for production use in its current state. It will
require a developer to make it go. Testing it won't do any good without
someone to adopt the code and work on it a bit. ;-)
