If I'm connected via GSM, this occupies all the bandwidth and everything else moves like a heavily sedated slug. So if I want to work via VNC or SSH, I have to terminate ongoing transfers with Ctrl-C and then hopefully remember to restart it when I work locally. I know git-annex is robust enough to handle this gracefully, but it would be really nice to have a continuous connection going on in the background, limited to a value I choose. + +rsync(1) has a `--bwlimit` (bandwidth limit) where you can specify max download/upload speed in kilobytes/sec. It would be great if a similar option was integrated into git-annex. Thanks in advance. -- cgit v1.2.3
