What is the best bandwidth throttling app for mac OS X?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Advanced OS X users know that Darwin comes with ipfw, which can be used to set up a custom firewall. This same service however can be used to also limit bandwidth on specific ports.
Example: Â Â Â
sudo ipfw pipe 1 config bw 15KByte/s
creates a pipe that only allows up to 15KB/s to go through.
Then: Â Â Â
sudo ipfw add 1 pipe 1 src-port 80
will attach that pipe to the outgoing traffic on port 80, effectively limiting the outgoing traffic of the web server. Â Â Â
sudo ipfw delete 1
will remove the pipe from the port.
adds: I haven't tested this. Just make sure you remember to turn this off when you no longer need it! "

M$If you're abit more adventerous you can set up your own throttles using the terminal, this can be simplier in the long run and means you don't have to run extra software, see http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2008/12/throttling-bandwidth-on-a-mac.html

Both of these answers require me to enter detailed configurations at a command line level. Are there any that integrate and have a GUI?
