[Box Backup] How many multi session can Boxbackup handle at same time, on Intel P4 2Ghz and 1Gb ram, approximate?

[boxbackup at fluffy.co.uk]

There is a program called trickled which will limit the B/W of a program. I
have only had a very brief play around but I think that this would be the
best option........ (But like I said I have only had a very brief play
around)

And must unix/linux like system, you can use some kind of filtering ( 
pf, ipf, ipfw, iptables ) and god knows whats out there to limit the 
number of connections..... just pass everything but make filtering on 
port 2201 dest.
