I am having a hard time studying & I started questioning if I was as academically inclined as I once believed. I wondered what changed. Then I realized my internet speed increased 20 folds in the last 4 years & that I was wasting time streaming a lot. Trickle works great & I will be using it extensively henceforth.

What is trickle - Userland Bandwidth Shaper?

trickle works by taking advantage of the unix loader preloading. Essentially it provides, to the application, a new version of the functionality that is required to send and receive data through sockets. It then limits traffic based on delaying the sending and receiving of data over a socket. trickle runs entirely in userspace and does not require root privileges.
