I just found out that webhosting is a complete ripoff, so I want to host my site using my own Apache2 server. I know how to do all of this, but the problem is that I only have a 1GB datacap and a very very slow ADSL1 connection. I want to slow down the outgoing port 80 (http) traffic, so that I can still use my computer to do stuff while people browse the site I'm hosting without it getting laggy.
Are there any tools out there that I can use to slow down traffic on SPECIFIC ports? I really need to be able to do this - you could save me $20nzd a month! :D
Edit: Preferably something I can get via apt-get.
