allocate bandwidth ?

elachys · July 25th, 2003

Since i'm on 56k

i need every single bit of bandwidth i can get. Does anyone know of a program which can show you all in and out going traffic and then let you allocate bandwidth to it.
eg. you could put 6Kb on download and the other 2Kb on other stuff.

Well if you use a download program like Flashget you can do something like that, but most of the time you have to do it manualy. AFAIK, there are no free/reasonably cheap packet shapers out there for Windows.

i already have something for downloads its called leechget and it works great for me but i wanted something for alocating certain amounts of bandwidth for each application so leechget and my web broser gets the data quicker than windows update for example.

DUmeter measures your in/outgoing traffic. Don't know about it's price, though.

I don't think you could do that as Windows Update probably runs in hte same thread as IE

ok bad example.
i mean let my web broser (which happens to be oprea) be a higher priority than windows update which has to (as far as i know) run in IE
