Limit upload on bitcoin-qt?

[Frozenlock]

I was wondering if there's a way to limit the upload rate on bitcoin-qt.

I want to run a full node, but I also want to make sure my webserver isn't crippled because some other peer is downloading the blockchain at full upload speed.

Oh, and I did search the forum. I know there's some 'workaround', but I'd prefer if this control was directly in the client.

In linux you can use a tool called "trickle" to limit your bandwidth like this:

Code:

trickle -u50 bitcoind

That will limit its upload to 50kb/s

Hmm... that's still not in the client, but should do the trick.

Thank you very much! *Tip*
