Hi, I'm loving how flexible Nginx is, and how much is built into a simple default build. Thanks to everyone involved. I'm at the point now though where I need to be able to limit connections to a site on a per user basis. I have a site which is behind basic auth, and users pay for a username / password combination. I wish to stop cheaters from sharing their username / password combinations with others around the world, and to prevent bandwidth hammering.

This makes me think of a few problems:

limit connection rate: the limit request module is a bit heavy handed. I have pages that are media heavy and can have 100+ images on. I'm unable to open another page without it blocking me when opening a page with this many media. I wish it would prioritise pages over static content. Of course, this is with one zone set up, and a limit_req in the server context. Should I set up another zone, one for static content, and one for pages so they're counted separately?

limit daily download amout: Can Nginx do this? I've looked down the modules and custom modules but didn't see anything. Something that could limit the user to download x gb/mb p/day. If the limit were 500mb and I had downloaded 480mb and then tried to dl a 60mb file, I'd expect to not be able to download the new file. Any ideas on this?

Username/password sharing. I'm at a complete loss on this. It'd need to be smart enough to catch users from around the world; same country, different cities etc, and also be flexible enough to allow different devices to connect of the same user. Any ideas would be great.

Thank you
