Bandwidth Application?
Bandwidth Application?
As I was listening to winamp playing internet radio and browsing this Idea hit me.
I'm looking for something to control the amount of Bandwidth an application in windows uses. The thing is I'm stuck on a 56k modem and high bandwidth connections are limited and out of my price range at the present moment.
Basicly I'd just like to be able to allocate an certain amount of bandwidth to a couple of application if ran together for eg.
of the 5kb/s
3kb/s Winamp (Internet radio) + 2kb/s Browser (Firefox)
2 - 4kb/s depends on d/l Downloader + rest of kb/s Browser and so on...
I hope that made sence.
The figures above are only eg. and guesses so if anybody knows of such an application and were I could get my hands on it or even if it can be done with Windows Xp Pro I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

i hear ya firefox. it's always seemed silly to me that we have nothing like this integrated into our OSs.
personally i have found it handy to set the limits on the various programs internally, respective to each program. i'm lucky coz a few of the programs i use have this option in them.
my downloader has it, my bittorrent program has it.
but it would be nice to have it all in one spot, virtual turnable knobs on a firewall perhaps.
