Picture this scenario:
You have a website on a webserver with a link to a rather large document, such as a movie that you made. Now this is just a personal web movie that you put together, its not for profit or anything like that, so you can't really afford the bandwidth charges for people downloading it.
So instead you post a link to the movie and host it off of your desktop, which is on a cable modem and is on all the time. Now the cable modem has a capped upload of 40k/s.
So now if you want to play a video game [or even just surf around looking at webpages] and someone on another cable modem happens to decided to download your movie while you're playing the game, you will lag out because he will be stealing all of your bandwidth downloading the movie.
So a simple solution would be to somehow limit the bandwidth that apache uses to 20 or 30k/s... the question is...how?
