Is it possible to limit bandwidth per application?

Hello,
Im on a DSL line 1.5mb/256kb throughput. Im using WINXP/Win98 dual boot. I was wanting to limit the bandwidth to certain applications.
Example: I DL alot from newsgroups, but when they are Dling my browsing or any other activities on the net are sent to a snails pace. I want to limit the bandwidth of that particular program to say 100kB. My total bandwitch is roughly 160k, so that will free up a significant amount of the bandwidth for online gaming or browsing.

Mainly i want this for the XP OS, but if its possible to do so within 98 that would be nice too.


Thanks for any input.
 
not gonna happen on the OS, if you have a good router U should be able to accomplish this, but is probably outside of your budget

It can be done with the default software on OpenBSD 😉
 
Guess DLINK 704 isnt going to cut the mustard huh?

How bout limiting bandwidth for a certain port. Im not sure what ports to limit, but could be found out fairly easily.
