I gather from the other positive feedback that this is a good little program, but even though I'm certainly not "afraid of the command line" I just can't make it do anything.

I'm on an airport network, and bittorrent upload speeds of > 20k/sec bog down the whole network. I've tried playing with every possible setting in the startup file, from playing with $MAXSPEED to making sure the interface is set to en1 to uncommenting the lines near the bottom pertaining to bittorrent and commenting out everything having to do w/ port 17778. No matter what I do I still get upload rates of 26-28k/sec or more. I've also just tried entering in terminal, "sudo /usr/local/sbin/throttled -s 2016 -d 6887 -p 2", and also tried "sudo /usr/local/sbin/throttled -s 2016 -d 6881 -p 2","sudo /usr/local/sbin/throttled -s 2016 -d 6882 -p 2","sudo /usr/local/sbin/throttled -s 2016 -d 6883 -p 2"... etc... I also played with the -L option. I've run out of logical options (and free time this evening) so I guess I'll regretfully uninstall and live with trying to limit torrents individually from within Bittorent & hope for the best.

Hmm, there's no documentation on how to quit Throttled once it's running. Oh, well, I guess next time I reboot it'll go away. I wonder how I uninstall.

So even if you're not "afraid of the command line", if you're not an experienced Unix or networking pro, you might not see much return on time spent trying to get this app to work. If you're just a casual P2P user who just wants a way to limit your upload speeds without having a background in network engineering, skip this app.

FWIW Carrafix doesn't seem to do anything, either... Maybe I'm just not understanding... maybe "bandwidth cap" means something other than keeping upload rates below a specified speed, or something. I dunno.
