I need to cap the download speed on a computer (on my home network)...is there an app that can let me do this?

Is there a software program that will allow you to manually set the speed at which a computer can download data? Basically a software download cap...I'm wondering certain friend of mine is stealing all my damn bandwith

Thanks!

What are you using for routing?

kinda off-topic.. but what's the registry setting to increase the downloading window?

Some tweaking for cable/dsl users...

Go!Zilla download manager lets you set the speed you want to download at. Default is 100%....so as fast as it can..and you can just slide this arrow up and down to take it down or back up.

Its ok for when you want I just want to download but not slow down surfing or gaming on my DSL connection. I wish there was a way to do this in napster

On your friends machine, run one of those MTU tweaker programs to change the registry settings so that it is optimized for 56K. Like, narrow down the RWIN and the MTU or something. This will effectively cripple the speed at which that computer will download anything.

Windows 2000 downloads pretty slow regardless of the size of the pipe using these entries:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
"SackOpts"=dword:00000001
"TcpWindowSize"=dword:600
"Tcp1323Opts"=dword:00000003
"DefaultTTL"=dword:16
"EnablePMTUBHDetect"=dword:00000000
"EnablePMTUDiscovery"=dword:00000000
"GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:600


I used MTU speed under Windows 95/98 and set the tcp/ip receive window in the 70 range!

Cheers!
