bandwith limiting software

[apac]

My roommate and I share a cable internet connection on a router. When I run bittorrent, it swallows up all the bandwith, including my roommates "share" of it. I'm looking for a free program that will let me manually limit the download/upload from my computer. Does such a thing exist?

Netlimiter.

Do you limit upload? That's usually where the problem comes from.

Yeah, I just limit the upload and everything works fine.

Get a client that doesn't suck.

I've found that if I'm not pirating software, typically ALL of my bandwidth is available for use at all times. 😛

Netlimiter is extremely buggy -at least for me. Like suggested, get a better client that is more configureable.
