Capping upload speed?
 

Is there a way to cap the upload speed of your internet connection, in windows XP?

I think you mean uncap, you 1337 hacker you

No. I mean cap. My ISP has a shitty monthly transfer limit (Australian broadband is a joke). Both downloads and uploads count on my ISP, which is the only cable provider in my area, and i'd like to limit the speed of my uploads.

When my uploads are at anything close to the full speed, the downloads get really slow. Downloading tv episodes with bit torrent tends to take way too long 'cause of this.

The technical explanation:

"If you saturate your cable modem's upload cap with an upload, the ACK packets of your download will have to queue up waiting for a gap between the congested upload data packets. So your ACKs will be delayed getting back to the remote download server, and it will therefore believe you are on a very slow link, and slow down the transmission of further data to you."

My bad, I mistakenly took you as a newbie.. but now I see you're simple austriallian

If I were you I'd

A) Start talking like Americans
B) Demand an upload cap from your ISP
C) Hunt croc's and call it a day

That's the problem. I already have a cap on my upload speed. When my uploads reach the speed cap, it congests the connection and slows my downloads. I figure if i can cap it at say, a quarter of my connection cap, then it won't have the same congestion affect.

Oh now I see your problem, It can be anwsered easily

After you body tackle the crocodile you need to duct tape it's mouth open to prevent fatal attacks

But seriously, www.google.com will eventually anwser all your questions

I agree, I found this link to be insightful:

transfer limits sucks :(
whats the monthly limit?

who are you with

10 gig/month, which isn't so bad, considering that up until january, it was 3 gig/month for probably more than a year. Goddamn. That sure sucked.

And lock, i'm with Telstra.

Use this:

Linksys WRT54G...

Put Sveasoft's firmware upgrade/enhancement on it & use the banwidth management features to rate limit your upload speed on that connection/computer or setup QoS policies.


That WRT54g with the firmware upgrade is bad ass. :2 cents:


Get the free firmware upgrade / enhancement here

Btw, I bet if you post your problem & requirements in that forum someone will probably help you out with it.

They were very prompt when answering a couple of my questions.

Not bad for free :)

what isp? im with iinet on 512/128 with 32gig transfer/month
i wish i could get my uploads to go faster, i get like 64k not 128

oh and "Intelligence" you are a dickhead

This is what I use:
http://www.netlimiter.com/

And not that I condone this sort of behaviour, but. here's a torrent for it: http://66.90.75.92/torrents/1061/Net...ck-rar.torrent

Can cap upload and download speed as a whole, or on a per application basis. It's the shit.

Also, since you're using Bit Torrent for downloads, you could use a client that allows you to set max up and max down speeds. I personally use BT++ and it's great.

Hope the info is useful.

Oh yeah, I'm also with Ozforces (http://www.ozforces.com/pnews.php?page=home_dsl_prices) 1.5m/256k ADSL Connection, and not badly priced. No download or upload limits, and a 6 month guarantee that if they ever stop offering unlimited, I get six months warning before it goes into effect and I can cancel and move to another company in that time if I like.

So at any given time, I know I've got at least six months before they can kill unlimited on me. :) And with no "fair use" policy, I download around 4GB/Day as an average, and upload around 1GB/Day.

Good info, my friends use also NetLimiter.
