"Basically you need some kind of upstream bandwidth prioritisation software or hardware. Specifically you have to assign UDP packets to the highest priority, and TCP packets with the ACK flag set and the FIN and SYN flags not set to the second highest priority. ICMP should probably be third"

That. I don't know what that means or how to go about it. But it refers to prioritizing my bandwidth for streaming PC games to sites like justin.tv, without making my ping spike constantly.

Does anyone know of any software that can do this that works on Windows 7? And better yet, how to use the software? :p

Cheers
 
I believe justin.tv allows you to reduce the quality of the stream to prevent it saturating the upstream bandwidth.

Me and a friend spent a long time yesterday and today trying everything. Except at 500kbps bitrate (and it happened even then), I would get ping spikes that made the games very hard to play.
 
Anything else on your network eating bandwidth?

Task Manager > Performance > Resource Monitor > Network will show you a breakdown of network utilisation.
 
skype can eat a lot of your outgoing bandwidth. Can you set up traffic shaping in your router settings and set them like that?
