193699 2003-11-21 19:29:00 hi again
ok i want to limit my bandwidth (mbps) not my quota (e.g. 5gb)
Win2k Pro
the PCs are on a network and i don't mind limiting the network speed
i want it to go at 60kbps, ideally i want connect to the gateway(router) at 60kbps because that way on LAN i can transfer files fast
also if possible i set it under Administrator and the user cant see or change it
the only reason why i don't use the router to limit it is because i just want 3 PC limited and the router is a bit advanced
i had a look and there doesn't seem to be any easy windows option for this so i suppose i'm looking at software (free if possable)

Reboot the damn computer and try again.

193705 2003-11-23 14:27:00 Mmmm thats the tricky part. You can make it run at startup with a registry key in the normal place....just copy one of the other programs that start at startup.

I'd like it if it had a password or something to block users, or make it hidden. Not sure about that one ;)
