Hi, and Peace
About testing bandwidth controller, I downloaded iso of linux with 
torrent. 1st I put the bandwidth limit 1Mb/ sec and then created user 
and connect that user to hotspot, and started 3 download simultaneously, 
of different ISO with torrent, Total download speed was not exceeding 1 
Mb/sec, while i have 8Mbit download line,
I did not get enough time to test upload also,

About selecting bandwidth limits as check box or a drop down menu, So 
both are easy to use, but here you are very write that some people can 
not differentiate between MB/sec or Mbits/sec etc, so i think in that 
case drop down menu will be more easier for such people,

Nokia, Yes that phones support Java-script, and really that will be 
great if the grase can detect the Mobile phones,

Note : I have a website http://amazai.net if you want to put some data 
or may be you need some webspace for working with grase-hotspot, so I 
can give you login / Passwords if you need, Also i can create something 
like http or ftp grase-hotspot.amazai.net,

Thanks
