I would be interested to hear what your Tests reveal. Does the tag actually limit the bandwidth?

We had done some tests at VFS in 2000, and it appeared that the plugin was not responding to the tag. We had uploaded a movie file that was about 100 kbps, and had a choke of 100000, but the movie still downloaded at closer to 1 mbps.

One common error is not using QTSRCCHOKESPEED in conjunction with QTSRC. The browser downloads the SRC file and hands the data off to a plug-in, so there is no way for a plug-in to throttle the speed at which a browser downloads data. This means the plug-in must use QuickTime to download data at a specific rate, and therefore QTSRCCHOKESPEED only applies to the QTSRC url.

The tag definitely works in all of our test cases. You may have found a bug, but if you don't report I can almost guarantee that we won't fix it.
