Prioritizing bandwith...?

[jsxlynn]

I've set Azureus to download, but I see that my Yahoo Messenger occasionally "calls home." It does not get through since Azureus is hogging bandwith, and so times out and shuts down.

Also when I try to check say, weather.com it takes forever for weather.com to load and sometimes it too times out.

I can shut Azureus down, I know this. But is there some way to give for instance yahoo messenger and Firefox "first priority" to bandwith?

Thanks...

Usually it's the UPLOAD part of BT that kills the whole connection for everything else. Easiest thing to do is go into your BT program and set the Upload rate to like 25% of your total upload speed. Should still work fine but should let everything else work too.
