Preventing Banwidth Accelerator

How Can I pevent my network user to downloading with download Accelerator such as DAP,Flashget etc..


Can Anybody Help Me Find The Solution?


I am useing MTk 2.9.27

Sorry, but… what’s the problem with download accelerators?

They suck all my valuable bandwidth ``````

they eat bandwidth , thats right , but what if the user is downloading in the normal way 10’s of files at once ??

you can limit the user bandwidth by many ways ,simple queue , PCQ , etc..

you can resolve it by upgrading to the newer version :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s the same stuff they’d download one way or another, an accelerator just makes it more efficient or more user friendly. Should not cause a problem for you. Not sure how those ones work, but perhaps you could give it a lower priority or something.

I think he means that the additional connections used by the accelerators are giving him problems. A user can download one file in as many parts as he/she likes which can put strain on ptmp wireless ap’s. If the user has a poor signal and uses one of these download managers they can wipe out service for other users of the same AP.

By the way you can only really connection limit the end users to less connections but too little and they will have general problems browsing etc. I have a leech ip list which I add the news group servers etc to only a couple of connections. I found you cannot really limit general web too much.
