First thing that comes to mind is using squid.

i think to traffic shaping but i don't now how can i do it??

[podilarius]

Traffic shaping can only slow down traffic. You won't be able to tell what you are slowing. Traffic shaping can slow down connections after a configurable amount of time.

Check Squid's reply_body_max_size directive.

it works :
i configure "services -> proxy server -> traffic mgmt -> maximum download size" i set 300 kilobytes,
i tray to downlod a file from a web site that have 417kB and the download is blocked  :D
