I have a small question regarding the --bwlimit.
I have a two scripts that run every hour to copy files from a remote server to local server. I use the bwlimit command and this works sometimes. When there is a lot of data to copy, it ends up saturating my bandwidth making browsing and other online activities slow.
What I think is happening is that the --bwlimit is applying to each script and not globally. For instance at hour 0 th script starts and bandwidth limit is set to 4M. If this is still running at hour 1, then a new session is created with bwlimit at 4M for a total of 8M and so on. Can anyone shed some light on this interaction?
Also, if the above is the case, is there a way to set a global limit to prevent this stacking of sessions?
Thanks in advance for any help and thanks to the devs for this great plugin.
