    Hey all.

    I'm currently downloading some trials and stuff from Adobe's site and they are pretty big files but I need them kinda sharpish for my college course. The problem is I seem to be downloading at full speed and my friends are trying to browse and stream videos at the same time and I'm getting the full speeds.

    Is there like a FireFox add-on or something that could mean that say I get 200kb/s out of the possible 500kb/s or something like that?

    Thanks in advance!

    It doesn't seem to be Mac friendly unfortunately. Thanks for the help though. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

    Firefox Throttle 1.03 seems to be what I want but again, it's not Mac friendly.
