Limit connection per ip

[e3test]

Nowaday , some softwares like internet download manager or flashget is famous, people use it to download fast, but it's also make a high connection to server (idm offer 16 connection per file - just thinking if 1 people download 10 files, 10 people download in the same time that mean 16x10x10 = 1600 connection - that's just 10 unique visit / day !!!! )

hostgator dont want we use more than 20% of resource , ofcouse we dont want it too , that's why we need "limit connection per ip" mod !

I have found a guide :
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=352388

It's use a mod call mod_limitipconn.c , with this , we can put just 1 connection per ip , mean 1 people can only download with 1 connection , no harmfull for the server.
You can put more connection per ip by change the value

Just by some code :

<IfModule mod_limitipconn.c>
<Location /somewhere>
MaxConnPerIP 3
NoIPLimit image/*
</Location>

But i can't install it by myselft , it's must be done by gator staff.....

It's one of a few solutions we're looking at. We can't install something like that on one server; it's something we'd have to consider installing on all shared servers. The main concern with a plugin like this is CPU; I'll have to do some testing with random sources to see if it has a noticeable impact on the server.

it's good to khow you working in it !
now i am using php script and htaccess to limit the download (Attach Files) , but it's not so good. Hope your testing done soon

I'm actually in the process of adapting it to our servers, and per management approval, we might get it out, it would be so nice to have.

I thought only one person could use an IP at a time anyway...

One computer can have several simultaneous 'data stream' connections--for instance, you can be using several browsers, an FTP application, and an email client all at the same time. If you have a download manager, look at its settings screen--some of them allow six or more connections. Your FTP app also has settings for number of connections.

how about the process now ? i will die waiting it

hmm.. I am bit skeptical about the idea. There are many countries around the world that has internet filtering(countries like saudi/UAE) that pass the entire internet traffic though proxied with very few IPS. Such a system would definitely affect a popular site from being accessed by a few users from these countries at the same time. Also this could happen for users trying to access a site from a corporate network.

If you dont want it, then dont use it.
This mod does not make any change to your account if you dont put something to your .htaccess

But it help people who have a large website limit connection per ip to make sure the web can be access by a lot of ip ( not 1 or 2 ip leech all resource ! )

Like my website, if i dont limit per ip , 1 ip with fast connection will download 10 files or more at a same time, also make 16 connection for just 1 file, it mean 160 connections for 1 people

it does not fair for people with low internet speed , he or she cant access and download anything at this point.

i want my website can be access by everyone, to do that i need this mod badly , now i using a php file read .rar or .zip file and buffer file to header of client browser . with this medthod, user cant open more than 1 ip ! and cant use IDM or flashget.

the fact is , this method does not so good, because using .php to read and buff file, the file itself dont support resume, when user stop download for some problem, he or she must download again at begining of this file....

If that mod has been installed , i can limit my site to 1 connection per IP and also support resume download at a same time

everyone dont khow anything about this mod is just fine, their acc does not change a bit !


Sorry for my bad english, hope you understand what i saying
