anyway to slow my internet connection to a crawl?

[Mark]

im talking about 14.4 speeds. i have 3mb dsl. i need to have it done for testing purposes. i'd like to have it done on this pc specifically so i dont bog down the speed for others who are on my router.

Or just strip the wire very, vvery thin. 🙂

Screw the other people on your router. It's not like surfing the web uses massive amounts of bandwidth anyways.

It's probably much more than you need, but VMWare has a feature to limit the speed of the virtual network connection to a specific amount.

You could always start uploading a ton of torrents with no upload speed limit.

Things should be crawling slow in no time 😉

lots of spyware, adware, viruses, trojans, worms... that may do it.... plus your pc at that matter

Some DSL packages provide a backup dialup account that can also be used when you're on vacation or whatever. You could just dial in to that, start a large service pack download, and then do whatever testing you need to do while that's running. 😉

Disable Firewall and Anti-Spyware apps, wait 10 minutes, voila!
