'Allocating Bandwidth' question.

    I like to download the odd tune from Kazaa whilst I'm browsing. The problem is that when I use the browser it seems to pull all the bandwidth from the music file I'm downloading.

    So what I'd like to know is, is there a way (or program) to tell the computer to CONSTANTLY give 75% of available bandwidth to kazaa and 25% for browsing purposes?

    Thanks!

    kazaa itself has a bandwidth limiter built in. just set it to the amount of bandwidth you want. its in the advanced tab in the options.

    i think that option only works when ppl are downloading files from you

    the min. bandwidth setting seems a little high (24 kbps). I'm lookin for a program specific bandwidth limiter... i'll report back if i get lucky :/

    Here's a small bandwidth limiter... only for Linux though!

    Sometimes i think i should switch over :rolleyes:
