How to decrease internet speed
4 posts · Closed
I want to reduce internet speed because I got a limited plan and my elder brother is addicted to online gaming, which consumes huge bandwidth.
I just installed SoftPerfect Bandwidth Manager 3.8.1 on my PC.
I don't know how to decrease speed.
I tried all Basic Usage Examples mentioned on your website, but nothing works for me.
Please help me.
What's the exact version you are using? Version 3.8.1 does not exist, the latest is 3.2.3.
It's also important to understand that if you are trying to control traffic of another computer (e.g. your brother's), it will not work unless the software is installed on or before the gateway as described here.
sorry correct is version 3.1.8
and me and my brother use same pc with wired connection
In such case, all you need to do is to create a rule like this:
Protocol: Any Direction: Both Rate: 50 KB/s Source: Any Destination: Any
Also check the built-in event log to see if there are any error messages or whether the trial version has expired. If everything is okay, the above rule should limit everything in and out of the computer by 50 KB/s.
You can check the usage report to see if the rule captures traffic.
