Abstract
Method and system aspects for allowing user control of data transfer from websites on the Internet via a web browser on a client system are presented. A method aspect includes establishing limits for allowable connections in the client system, and communicating the limits from the client system to a server system hosting a selected website. The method further includes comparing within the server a current transfer session to the communicated limits for allowable connections, and controlling the current transfer session by the server according to comparison results. A system for allowing user control of data transfer from websites on the Internet includes a client system, the client system requesting connection to a remote website with established limits. The system further includes a server system, the server system hosting the remote website and receiving the request for connection with established limits, wherein the server system compares the established limits with current transfer session conditions and controls data transfer accordingly.
