For any of you who don’t know about this yet, it’s been out for a while (since 2000, I think), but I’ve been needing something like this… and it’s free and VERY easy to use.

What is it and what does it do:

> Sloppy deliberately slows the transfer of data between client and server.  
> Example usage: you probably build web sites on your local network, which is fast. Using Sloppy is one way to get the “dial-up experience” of your work without the hassle of having to install a modem.

> A deliberately slow proxy to simulate the dial-up modem experience.

Have fun. :beam:
