We use CSF, but other options are available like CloudLinux.

Top of my head CONNLIMIT. Let me find out exactly..

Yep, we have it set to: CONNLIMIT = "80;20"

That equates to a limit of 20 connections per IP for port 80.

thi is for web page ? how about download with idm? download software has been break files to several part and then download them when i set that value to 20, it means only 20 part can download ?

That setting would limit port 80. So yes, Even if they are using IDM to download, they would be limited to 20 connections. Not sure sure how user friendly that would be, you would have to test that for yourself..
