Trickle — A portable lightweight userspace bandwidth shaper

I had lots of issues with some applications which suck whole bandwith of network and don’t allow other applicatons or users (in case of shared network connection) to use the connection.

I just asked this problem in #debian and Guerin introduces a nice tool called Trickle.

Wanna launch apt-get dist-upgrade? There we go

$trickle -d 10 -u 20 apt-get dist-upgrade

Done.
