DownOnly is a lightweight Linux tool that generates controlled, discardable download traffic to balance internet usage ratios and avoid ISP detection of unusual upload-heavy patterns, managed via a modern web interface.
How It Works
You learn about this handy tool from online forums because your heavy uploading for file sharing or home server is making your internet provider throttle your speeds.
On your Linux device like a NAS or mini computer, you run a simple one-click setup that handles everything automatically.
From your phone, tablet, or computer browser, visit the local web address to see a clean, responsive control panel with dark and light modes.
Adjust the running times, download speed, daily data limits, and rest periods to fit your schedule and avoid peak hours.
Turn on the service, and it begins downloading harmless data that gets tossed away, keeping your storage safe and memory use low.
Watch live speed graphs, daily totals, and logs updating in real-time, feeling in full control as your ratios even out.
Your upload and download balance looks normal to your provider, so no more warnings, throttling, or headaches – just smooth sailing.
