Hello OMV-Community!
I'm getting crazy... Searching for a possibility to limit the FTP uploadspeed to a fixed amount, because if multiple users or one user with multiple connections is/are downloading, they reach my max. upload speed which is about 1280kB/s in total. Then my ping raises like crazy and I cant play properly anymore. I tried multiple things, for example: the linux tool trickle and 2 different QoS. Trickle won't affect proftpd, I dont know why - it just wont limit it. DD-WRT QoS also did not work for the wired server. Only for the wireless clients (I dont know if its a bug or wrong configuration of the router itself, but I just can't see wired clients in the interface of DD-WRT (we use it as Access Point, main router is a Fritzbox 7390 with deavtivated WiFi. DHCP in DD-WRT is turned off or used as forwarder).
OMV-Server---Gigabit LAN--->DD-WRT---Gigabit LAN---> Fritzbox.
Fritzbox QoS also doesn't work at all, not even with own, newly added rules with the ports which some games use (CS:GO for example)
So, this is why I want to limit the ProFTPd transferspeed in overall, not per "TransferRate", as this only limits the speed per connection.

The OMV-WebUI does use the same command.
If I limit the connections to 1, the users can't browse anymore when downloading (when they are using a normal browser for downloading, firefox for example), if they use a FTP client like Filezilla, they can't download anymore, because the server always uses permanently 1 connection for the directories. Also if multiple users download at the same time, they always would reach the max. uploadrate, no matter how much connections per user are set.
subzero79 tried to help me over IRC, but its too hard for me as a linux newbie, to compile and install ProFTPd with the trafficshaper-module.
Is there a way to request this feature to be implemented in one of the next versions? Who must I ask for this?
The module: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/contrib/mod_shaper.html
Thank you in advance!
