Limit Download connections Apache


I am in the process of starting a affiliate program and i am providing hosted flv/mp4 files as a promo tools.

so ill be serving these video files to hundreds of surfers.

my question is how do i limit the connections for these files, idk what its exactly say, but something like disabling segment download

so when users use download managers it wont start multiple connections with download resume option.

so my files can be served slowly to the flash video player only.

like when downloading files from some servers using download manager it shows "no resume supported" and only one connection downloads the file.

can this be done with apache ? if yes then what is it called ?

i am using apache for serving files

hope this clears up what i am looking for., thanks
