Simulate slow connection on localhost

apache, localhost, php, xampp

Solution

Try using Charles Proxy, very good tool for web debugging and it has a bandwidth throttling feature which sounds like it would help in this case.

Problem

I'm using xampp and I'm trying to simulate a slow connection so that I can test out a few things that I've done with image uploading and progress bars. I've tried using Fiddler and mod_bw, both of which didn't work for me (mod_bw is a bit outdated, I'm not even sure if it works anymore). Does anyone know how I could simulate a slow connection on localhost?
