It may sound weird, but I would like to know if there is a way I can limit my bandwidth.
I have a 2meg cable connection, but when I run any one of several P2P downloading programs, It slows web access for the rest of the network (3 other computers) way down. I would like to limit my own bandwidth to still allow others on the network to surf.
well, I found a way! this is going to sound weird, but being unfirmiliar with the code for p2p software, it may not be that weird at all.
I always ran the program with my bandwidth cap set to 0, which just means that its uncapped. Now, say im downloading at 50k/s, me, and everyone else on the network is lagged hardcore. actually often the other 2 computers are SO lagged that they just time out when you try to access a webpage.
so, I go back and set my download bandwidth cap to 100k/s, even though I wasnt using that much bandwidth to download to begin with, and my upload cap around 20k/s....
now not only can everyone surf the web just like normal with no problems, but my p2p programs are flying!
