Well, sorry, if my answer was too harsh then I apologize for that.

I installed this wondershaper and firstly had to see, that it comes with
only a README file as documentation. Then (if I understood well) it
affects the connectivity as a whole. And then that I'd have to fiddle
about this and that.

Name me the DAU here...

I love OSM and therefore I liked to support t at h. What I expected was
something functioning like seti at home: Install and forget (that it is
running)... :-) But I had to learn that tah was(is?) something for
impassioned fanciers. ;-)

For tah - believe me or not - I upgraded from 1 to 4 GB RAM and switched
 later to a flat-rate (well, the latter with no additional costs :-) ).

Back to the issues.
a) I reckon that the result files are transfered "on the end" quasi
bunched to 'uploadable' (I noticed that when rendering by inkscape
stucks and I have to kill it there are abandoned subdirs like '12_...'
in the tmp dir to delete manually).

b) I never wrote a line of code in Perl. All I know for now is what
goooogle tells me... (do not beat me!) For ftp there exists
'NET::FTP::Throttle', well tah does not upload via ftp, or would that be
configurable? Another telling is about 'WWW::Curl', and curl has an
option '--limit-rate <speed>', thus... Yes, I know, if I'm the only one
having this problem it's not worth talking about changes. :-)

No harm meant!
