Question

How would I limit upload speed from the server in node.js?

Is this even an option?

Scenario: I\'m writing some methods to allow users to automated-ly upload

Answer 1

Use throttle module to control the pipe stream speed

npm install throttle

var Throttle = require('throttle');

// create a "Throttle" instance that reads at 1 b/s 
var throttle = new Throttle(1);

req.pipe(throttle).pipe(gzip).pipe(res);
