Re: Download speed limit

Yes, it seems to be bad thing, but this limit is because the big files are non-critical, but I can't let them hammer the customer's connection, using all the bandwidth. The internet connection is slow (500kbps ADSL), and they have the critical applications running on it. It is no problem my download taking 5 hours, event if the connection is broken I can continue the download after. I will look at the link you posted, thanks! But if there is a php solution for this, that would be better for my application. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ovidiu Rosoiu" <ovidiu.rosoiu@gmail.com> To: "Rangel Reale" <listas@rangelreale.com> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, May 18, 2007 2:34 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Download speed limit

limiting speed by using sleep in your script is a very bad idea. for a 350 MB file, with a 20 KB/s limit the script would take aprox. 5 hours. you can see how this is totally wrong. even skyrocketing the timeout, it's not a good solution. Use a web server mod for dynamic bandwidth limiting. See http://www.topology.org/src/bwshare/README.html, maybe it will help you. Rangel Reale wrote:

Hello! For my application I need to limit the speed that my application sends data, in my case a binary file. I need to send the speed as a parameter, like: sendfile.php?speed=20000 Would send the file at 20kb/s (forgetting about real byte counts for this example). To send the file, I am doing:

    $fp=fopen($this->contentfile,"rb");
    while(!feof($fp)){
        print(fread($fp,1024*8));
        flush();
        ob_flush();
    }
    fclose($fp);

If after ob_flush I do a sleep(), I can limit the speed, but I would like to limit at the speed of the parameter. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Rangel

on average, how big are the files that you will be sending? -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness,
