Way to stop or slow internet when amount of downloads +uploads reached?

[ultragamer2]

Is there an application you can install that will enable you to stop or slow the internet for all apps in ubuntu once you reach say 20gb total transfers (uploads+downloads)?

I want to avoid going over the isp limit because then the speed is slowed for everything but if I could limit it in ubuntu I could leave some left over for important use.

It only really has to work for one session though.

Not that I'm aware of. You could possibly write a script to do something like it, but I can't help with that. Hopefully someone will chime in who can.

Thanks, as a newbie I wouldn't be able to write a script.

I would only need it to work for one session though.
Maybe that would be easier?
