Bandwidth Cap

My mom and my sister always get on there laptop and download a bunch of crap and it makes me lag when I'm playing games. So I need something I can put on there computer so it limits how fast they can download that way it won't affect me when I'm playing online. Does anyone know of a program that can do this?

Re: Bandwidth Cap

that limits how fast you download through the bittorrent. I'm talking about the whole thing.

Re: Bandwidth Cap

Check into your router settings for QoS settings and give yourself priority on the gaming ports (if you know them).  Some routers are simpler and just give specific machines priority over the other, either way, there's always something you can do.  Oh yeah, you might wanna give yourself a static IP for this to work.

Just hope they're not on some other forum saying, "My brother plays too much and all my movies stutter.  How can I limit his bandwidth?" - heh.

Re: Bandwidth Cap

Lol. Well my router doesn't have settings. I can't access it or anything. Its just a box basically. But I'm looking more for a program that will do this. The way I have my network set up is I have my main cable go to the main router which you cant configure or anything. Then it goes to my computer, games, etc. Then theres another cable that runs to a different router. A dlink wireless router which I can configure but doubt it will help anything sense its not connected to anything other than the main router and the laptop.

Re: Bandwidth Cap

I use uTorrent, and it has both UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD bandwidth limits.  It can be set in the configuration.

Also, if you have a Router that supports QoS, and whatever port you are on, put that in, so you get priority.

Re: Bandwidth Cap

Yes yes both those were mentioned in above posts... Neither of which will solve my problems sense they are watching youtube videos, itunes, and all kinds of other crap. All i need is something simple to limit their bandwidth just enough that will give me enough to run online games on.

Well, IF that would happen here?  I tell them to get off, because I need the bandwidth.  Though, I am the bill payer, so I can tell them to quit.  You, on the other hand, are the child, so just try telling your mom you need more bandwidth, and they're hogging it up.  That won't fly...  IF my kid messed with my settings, or told me I am hogging bandwidth?  I would tell them to go pound salt, I pay for it, so I use it how I want...  If you want fast, I tell them, go buy your own.

Plus I have 8Mbps downstream, and don't worry too much about it.  I use QoS.  The VOiP phone (AT Call Vantage), and my network cable to my room are the only two configured for it, with priority.  Their bandwidth is already limited when I am on line.

Re: Bandwidth Cap

Yeah well I may not pay for it but I payed for the set up sense I convinced my parents to even have the internet. That was the only way I could get it was to work for it. Which I did. Now my sister who has done nothing but sit at the computer all day talking on the phone with her little friends has to watch every video possible on youtube and my mom thinks itunes is the best thing ever so its kinda hard to tell them both to get off. Xbox live uses at the most 200Kbit/s. And I have a 1500Kbit/s connection. So all I need to do is limit it to 1250Kbits/s. They won't be able to tell a difference. In fact the only reason my mom and sister are on the internet in the first place is because I gave them a wireless router I had so they could use the laptop any where. But they still won't get off when I ask. So I think its fair to limit there bandwidth just a little.

Re: Bandwidth Cap

You won't be able to CAP their bandwidth without the proper hardware...  I use QoS, so that if my bandwidth starts to drop because of what someone else is doing, the ROUTER will adjust so that my quota stays where it is supposed to be, automatically reducing throughput on the other ports.  The best you can do is to use QoS and give your port priority.

Quality of service is the ability to provide different priority to different applications, users, or data flows, or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow. For example, a required bit rate, delay, jitter, packet dropping probability and/or bit error rate may be guaranteed. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient.

QoS is sometimes used as a quality measure, with many alternative definitions, rather than referring to the ability to reserve resources. Quality of service sometimes refers to the level of quality of service, i.e. the guaranteed service quality. High QoS is often confused with a high level of performance or achieved service quality, for example high bit rate, low latency and low bit error probability.

Re: Bandwidth Cap

I tried to search other information about the another type of bandwidth cap.Here is;

"One type of bandwidth cap, administered by an Internet service provider (ISP), simply limits the bitrate or speed of data transfer on a broadband Internet connection. The purpose of bandwidth capping is to prevent individual users from consuming the entire transmission capacity of the cable, a shared resource. Critics have charged that it is a method to charge consumers more by introducing tiered bandwidth caps."
