Limiting Bandwidth

Hello,
The problem is that, I host files (~10-20MB) on my website(using Apache), but when new files are added, lots of people are downloading these files at maximum speed, that causes connection problems and sometimes server overloads...
I am reading Apache documentation right now, but havent found any solution yet.
Coming from that I am interested if it is possible to limit bandwith (or maybe maximum connections) using Apache, to prevent server and connection overload...
If it is not possible to do with Apache, then can it be done using other methods ? if yes, which ones ?
Thank you i advance,
CZealot

RE: Limiting Bandwidth

Check out "mod_bandwidth" ... your Apache may already have it. I believe you can limit bandwidth based on size of the file. So, if it is a large file, you can make it download slower, etc.

There was a review for Pro Apache 3rd Edition. Go to www.amazon.com, or whatever, and BUY IT. It talkes all about mod_bandwidth, and lots of other really helpful Apache Configs, and gives you plenty of Examples.

You can go to this site, I found it really quick on google.com, it goes over the configuration of it.
