Hi everyone ,

is it possible in PHP, to control the download speed to decrease the load on the server.

Yes.

You can add sleep() to an fgets() which adds a pause to the stream being sent back to the end user's browser.

Try this:

<?php

$file = "somefile.zip"; // Filename
$speed = 50; // i.e. 50 kb/s download rate
if(file_exists($file) && is_file($file)) {
header("Cache-control: private");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($file));
header("Content-Disposition: filename=$file" . "%20");
flush();
$fd = fopen($file, "r");
while(!feof($fd)) {
echo fread($fd, round($speed*1024)); // $speed kb at a time
flush();
sleep(1);
}
fclose ($fd);
}

?>
