Hello all!

One of my clients reported today that the internet access was slow and i
have delay_pool configured and qos in the linux server. I saw the
following in the access.log:

What i'm assuming is that rapidshare is breaking the file in small
chunks, so if i limit the download speed to 50k/s almost all this
"files" will arrive in 1 second and just after will download the next
chunk and so on, so the delay_pool is not effective in this case, am i
right?
What can i do so as to avoid that this kind of downloads affects all
others? (Block rapidshare is not a solution because i can't block
anytihng, just control the speed)

Thanks a lot,
Leandro
