Limit speed
Hi,
I've seen several postings about limiting the up-/download speed in LimeWare. I'm kinda new to this site and was wandering if any of the suggestions have been honoured so far. I'm using my Internet Connection to do many things. One of them is Skype. We live in Switzerland and have relatives in The Netherlands, so calling international is very important to us. When I set LimeWare to unlimited speeds I get incredible up-/download speeds (used WinMX before, but this is totally different stuff). Yesterday I bought Limeware for the staggering low price of 18 dollars and quite satisfied so far. What I don't like (sorry) about the speedlimitations in the program is that I can't set my max. downloadspeed as a figure, but LimeWare seems to assume it's a certain amount when I set it to 'Cable' (which is what I have, 2 Gbit down, 512 Mbit up). Setting the slider 99% results in downloadspeeds that are too low (50 Kbyte/sec). Setting it to 100% results in too high (250 Kbyte/sec). I can only manipulate it by setting the speed to T1 or T3 (which is not what I have). For me it doesn't have to be automatic. I know my up-/downloadspeeds so I can enter them. Than it would be a simple calculation to set it right to the percentages (Keep it stupidly simple (KISS)). Paul.

You accidentally posted in the Bearshare new feature section which is a different program. lol
 I agree, I wish there was more control with speed settings. I use bottom end broadband but I need to set my connection type to Modem in order to be able to set my speeds properly. BTW it doesn't really matter which type you select, choose the one that works for you (& is similar to what you have.)

Oh, woops, bearshare ay... You moved it to right section for me?
Whell. Setting it to T1 or T3 gives me a different Problem. I now can set the download speed to the desired amount but now I can't set the upload speed correctly. It's a mess. I've downloaded another nice program called 'Bandwith Manager Lite' from Softperfect. It allows me to regulate bandwidth for a specific port. I can now regulate incomming and outgoing speeds perfectly. I think I'll buy it, it's costs $35.00, which I think is a fair price. Now I'm in control! Paul.
