Hey everyone, i had done a quick search but nothing seemed to match what i was exactly looking for.


I'm after some advice as to which is the best way to limit all the ports transfer speed through my router. Currently when my housemate and i are playing a game of say TF2 or anything like that if one of us opens a large website the ping will spike through the roof as the web browser uses up as much dload speed as it can.

Im hoping that capping things like this to a speed of 60k/s max would mean it wouldnt cause the connection to be unuseable whilst the page is being loaded. Does anyone know of a simple means in which to do this and even better does anyone know if it will actually work? Its frustrating when playing an fps and someone gets a youtube link and the game is then unplayable for the next couple of minutes :(
 
will have to use software based things like 'netlimiter'

if you both play games, and both know why you need it, it's a lot easier to 'enforce' this on the other pc :)
 
Yeah, was hoping there may be some way to do it from the router but i guess the fix is only 2 installs away :) thanks for the help.
 
the good thing is, you both need it

if it's just one user, and the rest are downloading etc, then forget it !
