My linksys WRT54G has bandwidth limiting if you use the sevasoft firmware

Since 3 days when I'm on the Mac I have "Activity Monitor" launched.

There are data in and out all the time, not enough though to be a mater (I think), but the transfer is never zero for a while (30 sec max without data transfer).
Is this normal ? :confused:

Some cro$oft apps seems to surf the web more than I do, what do they look for ???
A free update for the Text Editing tool ??? ;)

If you are technically minded, you could route all traffic through one of you Macs and then use 'throttled' along with ipfw to limit bandwidth.

Here are some notes I have in a text file from when I played with it:
Code:
per example:
 
 throttled -s 8192 -d 18192  - set 8K thottle
 throttled -s 32768 -d 13276 - set 32K throttle
 
 then you can add ipfw rules:
 
 ipfw add 50 divert 18192 tcp from me to any
 
 to set max bandwidth from your computer to the world to 8K/sec
 
 ipfw add 51 divert 13276 tcp from any to me
 
 to set max bandwidth from the world to your computer  to 32K/sec
Probably got the notes off someone's web site, but I cannot remember where.....

The notes about "throttled" probably came from this old thread:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=9417
which tells you where to get "throttled" and which has a relatively recent post by the author of that program saying that he plans to create a GUI for configuring it.

Actually from here, but your link is probably better as it has been updated more recently :)
