But won't it affect retry features of other `good' software such as wget? At

beyond our control, and apache hacks are anyway impossible. However, I am
thinking of setting up a transparent proxy (squid/iptables) on the firewall and
let it handle the bandwidth limiting and the like.

I don't mind hacking approaches. Otherwise, I won't be reading the LKML ;-)

That is a wonderful idea. Trying to exploit features on the Internet should be
a punishable offence ;)

Exhilaration is that feeling you get just after a great idea hits you, and just before you realize what is wrong with it.
