Restricting upload speed
 

I'm trying to download the World Of Warcraft beta client (all 2.4gb of it :() and it uses it's own custom P2P app, trouble is, it's uploading at 28k per second which is killing the download speed, is there some way of restricting the upload speed, there's nothing in the app you can change apart from turning off P2P transfer, but that lowers the xfer speed even further :(

Use Netlimiter for exactly that purpose - i use it myself on P2P.

Thanks

me too, has the added effect that some P2P rely on your download being a ratio of your upload so if you throttle your upload back in the P2P software it reduces your download speed. USing Netlimiter foold the P2P into thinking it has full upload speed

Yeah, its a great app,
You can even restrict specific IP addresses too, so if you have a few downloads on the go you prioritize them so that the ones you need come down first and adjust the upload/downloads speeds in real time.

everyone i know who was d/ling it had this trouble it upps so much u cant d/l its just silly it should have an upload max setting somewhere - if u tick the box to disable p2p and it says it goes slower it dosnt move at all ..i just got my mate in sweeden to d/l it on his 10meg line then i got it off him from FTP over night its a silly system
