Im thinking if you could provide speed limiting or bandwidth limit for certain usergroup.

Im using this hack to server downloads to my members.
User with below X posts will not be able to download.
So far, it works..but im thinking to make a more robust rules.

example:
User below 30 post will not be able to download.
User below 100 post will have their download capped at 70kbps
User below 300 post will have their download capped at 150kbps
User who has more than 300 posts will have normal download speed.

I don't think it is a good idea to implement this within LDM, but I will put it on the 'to think about list'. Most of the responsibility for transferring a file is actually handled by the web server. LDM passes the content to the server. To change this, I would end up rewriting a substantial part of the server code or makeing some big assumptions about the server modules installed on the site.

Have you tried LDM/admin/allowances?

Is it possible to do this? If not, what can I implement to make this possible?
Do I need to tweak my server setting?

I don't understand your question - what downloads are not working? Have you got all the mimetypes set up correctly (see LDM wiki)
