not really, because, when i have script running, that shuffles a lot of  
data around it shouldn't trigger, it should trigger, when 1mbit/sec is  
filled and there are only 600 mbit available (but this should be  
flexible). but if you know how much space is used up per minute you know  
how long the disk will float, so to speak..
