[Xitami] Limiting Bandwidth - How to Use Pipe Settings?

[Adam Schroeder]

Thanks Johannes!

That did it.  I was actually playing around with configuration files 
previously but I didn't get the right syntax.

After several tries I stumbled upong the correct syntax.

The correct syntax is
   pipe = "32k pipe"  #basically the instance name defined in the XML with 
quotes around it.

Thanks for your help!

Adam
