Hi all how do I limit the bandwidth going to and from my box

http://lartc.org/lartc.html http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.cookbook.ultimate-tc.html Simple case, to limit your download speed to 500kbps, use something like tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip prio50 u32 match ip src 0.0.0.0/0 police rate 500kbit burst 10k drop flowid :1

.....I don't want to take up all of my works bandwidth to sync up the update server :>

This sort of thing shouldn't be left up to the individual client. It makes enforcement very difficult. Your office should get a proper routing solution

Can I do it through cron when I do the update?

Sure
