Prevent downloading large files

Post by raiko »

To further cut down bandwidth, it would be nice to have a feature that refuse that download if file is larger than certain size.

You can use the 'connection bytes reach' selection in the Download QoS to do this.

Hi pbix,

Thanks for your suggestion. However, I think it is not exactly what am I looking for. I don't think QoS can STOP a connection. Correct me I am wrong.

Cheers,

If you change the class Max bandwidth to zero it will stop.

This is what I have tired. Once it saved, it turned to "nolimit". I'm not sure it is a bug or "0" means "nolimit". You have any idea?

BTW, I am using v1.54
