Partitioning Bandwidth Using Mac OS X?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday January 7, 2003 @05:26PM from the better-quality-of-service dept.

dasboy has this query: "I was wondering if anyone knew of away to partition bandwidth amongst a group of computers running Mac OS X? I have a [few Macintosh machines] at home all on the same LAN and all on the same Internet connection. One of these machines is used by my daughter when she's home from school. The biggest problems happen when she begins downloading large files (I'll let you guess what she downloads <grin!>). I was wondering if there are any cool BSDish ways of constricting the amount of bandwidth her computer uses?"

Sad news... Stephen King troll is dead at 23... by Anonymous Coward · 2003-01-07 20:10 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on IRC - the Stephen King troll post writer was found dead in his parent's basement this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to troll culture. Truly an Slashdot icon.
