I have two computers with emule/amule installed, it would be interesting to automatically switch speeds every other day so they never run full speed at the same time.

You can use amulecmd and a cron job to accomplish that. Please note that you need rc8 to set bandwidth limits via amulecmd.

lg,
-h

Sorry for being a lamer, but i'm not exactly a linux guru. Could you explain to me how to use those progs to schedule the limit the speed on amule.  For instance how would i limit the download to 2Kb/s Mon-Fri between 8:30AM to 9:15PM


Thanks

For this task you have to add these two lines to your crontab file:

Code: [Select]

30 8 * * 1 amulecmd -c "setdownbwlimit 2"
15 21 * * 4 amulecmd -c "setdownbwlimit "Note, that you have to use "crontab -e" to edit your crontab file.
You also have to have cron installed and running.

For more information, see "man 5 crontab" and "man amulecmd".
