not free, but fully featured program, i use it...can be used to restrict upload/download for individual applications or even individual ip's connected to your machine within an application!! can be used to schedule bandwidth to certain programs at certain times..etc..etc.
Gives nifty little graphs and usage statistics too![]()

sheedatali said:Netlimiter can not used in server mode, it is a per PC based software. each PC has to have its own copy running and the settings for bandwidth you want. Also worth metionting if you want to controll bandwidth centrally then this not the software for you. it gives user mode interface, therefore each user can change their limit. What you need is probably bandwidth controller (http://www.bandwidthcontroller.com). you can controller per interface or i guess per ip based as well. it runs centrally on the gateway.
Cheerio
KDS said:Hmm ,don't any software for windows, but if you run a Linux computer as a gateway ,then you can limit using some free software. I'm sure some routers might do as well.
sheedatali said:well in that case netlimiter is ur best bet as advised by keith. i have used it myself and it is a great piece of software. their recent version i guess 2 alpha is not my favorite but i like 1.30.
salvador said:...but it can only control / limit TCP protocol which makes it incomplete in my view :hrmph: If it could control UDP then I would prefer it over Netlimiter. I'm still testing and I will make up my mind in a day or two.
The main purpose of using this software is to control the downloading via p2p in the rest of the LAN.
