Run it like
throttle -p 3000 -d 1000ms -s 256Kbit/s start
p - Port
d - network delay you want
s - speed
- brown9-2 15y agoThis is really nice, thank you. Just curious though, any reason why you don't make a full featured github repo for it so people could follow updates in future, suggest changes etc?
- boundlessdreamz 15y agoThis was sufficient for my use. I just wrote it couple of days back. I can't think of any more features (except restricting bandwidth for upload also). So having a repo didn't even cross my mind
- marquis 15y agoFor designers working with css, going to the command line can be daunting. So you could wrap this in a nice app on the dock or the menu bar, and maybe you'd like a couple of euro for your time and writing some support documentation..
- boundlessdreamz 15y agoI know :) The comment made me smile because I wrote the script for a client who is a designer. I used to use the ipfw commands directly. I didn't want the client to remember the syntax and also starting and stopping the throttling involved a couple of commands which can go wrong. So I wrote this and also had some default values so that he can just do throttle start and throttle stop
