Limiting Bandwith

[MLJGTI]

Hi all,

Current set up :- 2 PC's connected Via Wireless - Both Sharing the Internet - using a Proxy Program.

I leave my PC (Internet Connection) on all day so my dads PC can access the internet - I like this because I can download all day. The thing is he has been complaining the his internet has been so slow because I am using all the bandwith (Using Bittorrent - Wicked prog for dl'ing films) It takes all the bandwith.

Is there a program that can restrict the amount of bandwith my PC uses?

Thanks in advance

Mark.

Yeah I know - The experimental does have a limiter - but it only limits Upload speeds

Or you could use an alternative client like ABC which allows you far more control over bandwidth (including download). It's also a lot more convenient than the barebone client. try it out, you'll like it.

Thx Gozu - But I am more than Happy with with Netlimiter - That also allows you to control download and upload speeds - For each program you use - wicked stuff.

I wonder how they control how fast stuff is downloaded... Source quench?
