thenewperson Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Is it possible to increase how fast people upload their files or does everything just depend on the connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roopurt18 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Uploads and downloads will always be hard-capped by the physical capabilities of the connection. That said, any machine could potentially have software installed that throttles the rate at which uploads and downloads occur. If that were the case, then you'd have to find the appropriate settings for said software on your server and your clients' machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 You can't really limit upload speeds, using php... you may be able to using Apache/htaccess with bandwidth control: Apache Bandwidth Throttle: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS342US342&q=apache+bandwidth+throttle&aq=1&oq=apache+band&aqi=g10 You can use php to do download throttling, here is an example (I haven't tried it): Download throttle: http://www.jonasjohn.de/snippets/php/dl-speed-limit.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
