I want to test my sites under smaller bandwidth that what I currently have (2Mbps on DSL).
So, I'd like to have a tool that caps my bandwith usage to 256Kbps or even to 56Kbps to see how a dialup user navigate through my site.
Does it exist?

the software that I use to test page loads on a slow connection is Sloppy - the slow proxy. It is a small, open source java app.

wow...hell of a tool. I can't believe I hadn't found that before.

Thanks!
