  1. Maybe I'm dumb, broken, or both, but this doesn't seem to work for me.

    My browser was already running, and this just opened a new tab. I went to YouTube with a 9.6K connection, speed was clearly regular rate.

    Hmm. Success from others?

    Firefox 3.0.5
    Mac 10.5.6
    $ java -version
    java version "1.5.0_16"

  2. Charles (http://charlesproxy.com/) does connection throttling, and a ton more. It's _so good_.

  3. It works with me - I just disabled the cache and the 9.6k took ages and ages.
