I have Fedora, fc-9 and I use webmin to manage my dedicated server. Until now I had no reason to be concerned about bandwidth because I never came close to the 1TB that my host allows. I have now started serving video files.

I installed mod_cband and so far it's been a disaster. It has caused my 5 sites to slow to a crawl. Style sheets are ignored and images often don't appear at all.

What I need is something compact that will simply monitor bandwidth and when it gets to a certain point, shut down the downloading of the video files. That could be done as a cron job by simply changing the name of the directory where the files are located.

It would be nice if there were something that could parcel out an allotted bandwidth over a month so I don't get three weeks into the month and have to shut it down.

I use Munin. Is there a Munin module that would do the trick?

Any other ideas that would work well?
