i’m testing a flash site with Charles Proxy. It doesn’t appear to be throttling the video stream from Akamai that we’re using. Is there a way to simulate how the stream will work on a slow connection?

Charles is just a web proxy, so it won’t throttle traffic that doesn’t go through your HTTP proxy (like streaming flash video does, over port 1935). Instead you need another application that can throttle all traffic.
