I would limit it on the upstream router. We just give ours a 100mb/s port and call it a day. But I think rate limiting upstream would work the best if you need it to run speeds other then just standard eth speeds (10/100/1000).

So do users have a suggestion on how to throttle / rate limit their mirror server? Mine sits on a gig-e connection, and I just got a call from campus IT questioning the amount of bandwidth I'm using...Right now, I'm running it "fully open", but I may have to restrict that, at least during certain hours. I run http, ftp, and rsync on my server.
Thanks!

Ours is quite bursty, Sits around only 5-30mb/s normally. But will sometimes hammer the 100Mb/s ethernet port its on for 20minutes to an hour.

I was averaging about 50-100MBps when I initially deployed. When the mirror was in full swing I was saturating my Gigabit switches. It's now been throttled to 20MBps during peak hours if you aren't on CA*Net or Canarie and if you are 50MBps during peak hours.
