[ale] HOW2 allocate download time from WWW among server&clients on local LAN ?

Yes, you can definitely do what you want. Extensive documentation

Probably what you want is something like the "Ultimate Traffic Conditioner",
which can be found on that site:

I'm using a hacked version of that script, which I use to balance
bandwidth among a number of machines on my LAN and wifi net, and to
give bandwidth preference to work-related machines.
