LimeWire blocks traffic
 

Hi !

When i run LimeWire the other linux applications have no more bandwith,
seems like LimeWire blocks tcp-traffic....

Does anybody know why and how to solve this ?

What is your connection set at?

IF you say that you have a T1 connection it will use more bandwidth. If you have a T1 connection and you want it to only use a portion of it then set your connection speed down a bit. Something like DSL or Modem. Now keep in mind that you will lose some performace in doing this.
If you have aleady done that and still it doesn't work. Try using TOP or some other form of process/memory viewer to see what your resources are doing.

what you need is QoS
 

hi!
linux can set priorities for all kind of traffic. its possible to reserve some for webbrowsing, ftp, shh...

i have made a script for donkey/gnutella that does exactly that.
