Throttle download speed
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Would it be possible to implement a feature that limits the download speed whenever a Jellyfin stream begins?
Describe the solution you'd like Perhaps there could be an option to specify what you want to throttle—a flag allowing users to choose between limiting both download and upload speeds or just one of them. This flexibility would provide more tailored control for different scenarios
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
Added in v1.0.0

Could you please help me?
These logs indicate that it successfully changed the download speed. Did you see the upload speed change? Is it just the download that hasn't updated? If you're viewing in the WebUI, you might need to refresh the page in order to see the change.
Hi,
The maximum download speed is 100. It calculates the download speed as 100, but it should have been equal to the upload speed. It's not that it does not the speed, it's that the speed calculation is wrong
Ahh, I see what you mean. I've made it so the media server module does not decrease the download speed, as the media server is uploading, not downloading. My logic is that only the upload would have to be decreased. If you wanted it to have a download reduction as well, I can implement something like that?
Yes, if you can implement it this way it would be awesome. Maybe a toggle to enable download limiting?
