Greetings I want to limit the download bandwidth to my users to 10 mb daily... I was looking how to set up apache to do that and got with mod_cband.. but i can't find anything about limiting the bandwidth to the end user (web page viewer) does anybody have experience doing this kind of configurations? is there other module besides mod_cband that can make such task?
mod_cband isn't for limiting the usage for each person who visits your site. Its for users who have hosting on shared servers. You need a solution with server side scripting. You can try simple things like tracking users by IP and with sessions to keep a log. Is there any specific reason you are doing this? Another method is to have a login and have the bandwidth limited downloads only available to members. Again, if you explain why you are doing this other than to save bandwidth, it might be easier to find a solution. Note that the ideas mentioned are all open to workarounds.
wel basically i'm running a proxy site on one of my virtual host i've been blocking access to "abusers" who were downloading torrent files and using the proxy to download stuff on rapidshare. I don't realy like the idea of blocking access since the internet should be a democracy space.. so limiting the bandwidth for each ip conected every 24 hours may do the trick...
