You could call it an "Express Slot" and give it prefered bandwidth.
you could have:
2 regular slots with a 15k limit
1 express slot with a 5k limit, but only gets used for files under 5 megs(user defined?), but that 5k is part of the 15k "regular" limit.
So there is always a 15k total limit on the bandwidth used. I feel this is important so that you can keep your bandwidth controlled, but at the same time let as many people make good use of it at once.
example:
2 people using the regular slots to download 75 meg videos, each getting 7.5k/sec.
Another person requests a 3 meg mp3, and the 2 people on regular slots are lowered to 5k/sec each, and the third person gets 5k/sec on the mp3.
When he gets finished, that 5k goes back to the first two people, and they go back to 7.5k/sec each.
I really think this could cut down on people not being able to get files.
Hope I explained it well enough. =P | There should be no limit on the express slot. And only let it share things under 500k.
Also, even if a user unchecks "share with other users", force one express slot to be shared.
Edit: ewwwww, i didnt see the date on the thread, sorry for bumping it. still a good idea, though.  |
