Thanks for the hint, Carlos. I tried to compile trickle on OS X 10.6.8,
but without success. AFAIK, trickle has not been tested with OS X, and =
I
am not even sure it trickle could work at all. Members of the MacPorts
mailing list seem to confirm my suspicion. I've tried to contact the
author of trickle; hopefully he will reply.

The general idea to use a tool besides git or SSH to shape the bandwidt=
h
usage seems valid, though.
