Limit bandwith about skipfish

sounds like a vulnerability in the site ;-)

but yeah, I'd like that as well, so I can test published sites without adversely
affecting its viewers.

You can rate-limit traffic using a local packet filter; you can also limit the 
number 
of concurrent connections maintained by skipfish by lowering -m. 

Adding crude rate-limiting is on my TODO list, but it's not very high priority. 
We'll 
see...

apt-get install trickle
trickle -u 100 skipfish....

This limits skipfish's upload to 100kB/s.

Oh, nice. Yeah, that is an excellent excuse. I put trickle in the documentation.
