You can limit the usage of bandwidth on each of the IPs the Cobalt has in
the sites' settings.

(note, this goes by IP, not by site, so if you have two sites on the same
IP, they will have the limit together)


T1 is 1.544MBps if I'm not wrong. You can assume 10 bits for a byte...
that's 154.4 kilo bytes per second. Although if I'm not wrong the setting
in the GUI is in bits you'll have to see, it's 3:22am over here and I'm
not gonna check that now ;)
