limiting download speeds with trickle

Running Sheepit render farm in the background on one of our machines, I wanted to limit the download speed of the Sheepit client, since office bandwidth was limited. 

First tried wondershaper and tc - did not work - finally ended up with trickle. Modified the desktop shortcut launcher I use to the command

trickle -s -d 1024 -u 1024 java -jar sheepit-client-ver.jar

Earlier tries and misses, and links for reference -

We have eno1 instead of eth0.

Used git clone instead of the apt version as per
https://github.com/magnific0/wondershaper

Then, syntax has changed. But errors,
sudo ./wondershaper -a eno1 -d 1024
Error: Exclusivity flag on, cannot modify.
Error: Exclusivity flag on, cannot modify.
Error: Exclusivity flag on, cannot modify.

Trying tc with this syntax from
https://superuser.com/questions/1598721/adding-both-delay-bandwidth-restrictions-via-tc

sudo tc qdisc add dev eno1 root netem rate 10mbit
no errors shown
sudo tc qdisc add dev eno1 root netem rate 1mbit
Error: Exclusivity flag on, cannot modify.

The 2nd command above was with protonvpn on.

sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd

sudo tc qdisc add dev eno1 root netem rate 1mbit

Error: Exclusivity flag on, cannot modify.

sudo ifdown eno1
ifdown: command not found.

sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd

 

sudo tc qdisc add dev eno1 root netem rate 5mbit
no errors,
but when running protonvpn, this has no effect - download is running at 2.4MB/s
