[mythtv-users] Limiting file transfer speed (to combat Epia system lockup)

My Epia Myth box ALWAYS locks up whenever I do a file transfer (scp, ftp, etc.)
across my local LAN at home.  However, it does fine when downloading files from
the Internet.  I've read a few posts that say the Epias have trouble with DMA
and such, and so I'm guessing that if I could reduce the transfer speed, then I
might be able to keep it from locking up.

So, does anyone know a way to limit transfer speeds?  The best would be options
that I could pass to FTP or SCP.  For HW/SW, I've got a Netgear WG511 and I'm
using Linuxant's driverloader, since Prism54 had problems with powering the
PCMCIA socket.

Any suggestions on how to limit network speeds would be great!

Thanks,
Micah
