Hello,
while it is true the purpose of acng is to maximize the bandwidth usage caching
data locally, it is also unwise to completely saturate the up/downlink (which
might impact other systems on the same network).

Could you please add an option to limit the bandwith usage (much like
limit/limit_global of apt-cacher)? eventually having 2 options, one to limit the
bw of packages getting downloaded (to be store in the cache) and another to
limit the bw of packages served from the cache

Thanks,
Sandro

$ grep limit /etc/apt-cacher-ng/acng.conf

# It's possible to limit the processing speed of download agents to set an
# overall download speed limit. Unit: KiB/s, Default: unlimited.

The second part is new, I need to think about that.

Hello Eduard,

I remembered I saw something like that, and I did the same grep that
you did, but on a wheezy system (0.7.27-1~bpo70+1) and that feature is
not available there.

awesome, thanks!
