There is a apache module called mod_bandwidth, with it you can limit the bandwidth per minute. And you can limit the connections per IP (Connections and download would be the same for a specific file). This how to should help you: (They have done it with mod_limitipconn) http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=352388 Good Luck.
Thanks a lot for replying Well I m on shared hosting, I mean don't have SSH access, is there any other way of doing ? I mean with the help of some script which doesn't require SSH. Waiting for replies - Pathan
You can do this with PHP but it's a bit cumbersome (you'll have to pass the file through PHP and count the bytes etc). Ask your host if they can install mod_bandwidth with Apache, they should be able to do it fairly easily.
