I'm looking for a program to give me the ability to limit the bandwidth
used by programs up or downloading, I want to upload something but all
the BW gets used up and I cant download at the same time.

I think I read about such a thing in here some time back but cant find it.

Netlimiter does this but is not free, sorry.

I had no need for it but you got me curious, so after quite a bit of
searching I found this:

This is old software and the company that issued it no longer supports it, in
any way. This software was release as Freeware from Sundra.

Quote Mode = ON

With SHUNRA\Nimbus you can easily see, on your desktop, how IP based
technologies function under different bandwidth conditions. A task bar utility,
SHUNRA\Nimbus can be activated with two mouse clicks, allowing you to throttle
the bandwidth and see how things work for dial-up and DSL users.

IMPORTANT - Most performance problems are a result of a combination of factors
including Bandwidth, Latency and Packet Loss. In order to test how these factors
affect your application you will need to use one of Shunra's commercial products.

System Requirements

Windows NT, 2000 or XP
Pentium II 400Mhz and up
64MB RAM and up.
5MB free disk space.

Quote Mode = OFF


File here: ftp://ftp.uam.es/mirror/tucows/files3/Nimbus.exe (2,619 KB)

Files is there, connection is real slow, so grab a cup of coffee or something.

If I remember the deals, correctly, it has a max limit of 256K and a minimum
limit of 14K per connection. I don't know if this will work for you or it is
what you are looking for.

There are however a number of other interesting comments on that
thread that might be worth checking out.

Yes, I know, the connection is VERY low speed, and "no such file" is a common
occurrence with this type of connection. Only thing I can suggest is keep trying.

I took a look at that thread. Nothing new there. Been through all of that and
a lot more they never even mentioned. To be blunt about it I don't think there
is any solution, except a good router that supports shaping. Those that support
a "form" (please define) of QOS have ONE qualification, i.e. the application
that you want to use QOS on MUST support this feature, or it's a waste of time.

There are some things "in the works", but they didn't say when they'd be
available. Heard that from a lot of hardware and software vendors. The real good
products are commercial packages designed for Enterprise Level Corporations. The
packages that are aimed at the SOHO market are not cheap either. AND, the ones
all of us are looking for (FREEWARE), basically, do NOT exist, and none are in
development.

The Freeware packages that ARE around are NOT for the Windows environment.
Several of these are very stable, and have been around for a long time. I found
Nimbus through some research on another subject. Went to the Sundra site, and it
wasn't listed. It appears to have been dropped. No comments from Sundra on
Nimbus either, one way or the other. Did some search in the Archive and came up
with a file name and file size. A little digging turned up a couple of sites.
Only one of them actually had the file.

If anyone wants a copy of this file I can email a copy to them. Just make
sure that your email folder on your ISP is empty, or you might not get the file.

On the Java program, I'm leery of Java applications. Too many ways to mess
with things, via Java, and too many ways to bypass things too. When, if ever,
Java, gets to be a much more secure "language"(?) I may take a more serious look
at it. For now, I and my fellow IT managers, won't touch Java with a ten light
year pole.

If anyone runs across anything, freeware of course, that will limit or shape
bandwidth? I will be most interested.
