Description

About

Application-independent bandwidth control for Linux. Stop model weights, datasets, and container images from saturating your connection, without changing the tools you already use.

Essentially, it makes it extremely easy to limit the amount of bandwidth per single application:

ntrickle -d [ max download speed ] -u [ max upload speed ] [ application/command ]

I haven't found anything in the Void repository that offers such a simple and intuitive feature
