Template/events for QOS or traffic shaping.

@Mars
For QOS purpose, I had few questions...

Are there some per ip-specific measurements?
How to make global variable apply to only 1 ip? 

something like these:?
connections_this_ip
active_downloads_this_ip
set or get #^flag_this_ip

Some templates have extra features (such as thumbnails) that are not good in high-load conditions.  It is good to make a bypass macro to temporarily streamline the template (without extras) to lighten the load.  If global measure is used for traffic shaping, then 1 miscreant affects everyone (this is anti-QOS); so, for QOS function, it may be better if feature-bypass macro targeted the specific overdoing IP address. 
I don't know; but, if the per-ip measures are available, then I could test it.

no

How to make global variable apply to only 1 ip? 

a variable is defined by its name which can include letters or numbers and preceded by # to become a global variable
just include %ip% in the name

{.set|#flag_%ip%| ....   .}

global variables only exist while hfs is running

Thanks Mars!
