Does anyone know of a program that will allow you to limit a computer's upload capacity? For example, I'm looking for a program that I could configure to prevent a PC from uploading more than 50KB/s or some other amount.
Here's the more detailed explanation. I'm using an old computer on my home network to run the file sharing program Perfect Dark. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_Dark_(P2P)) The problem is Perfect Dark has a minimum upload speed of 100KB/s which is roughly the same as the total upload speed of my internet connection. When the program is running I basically lose the ability to use any other online application. I can't lower the minimum upload speed in the program itself, so I'm wondering if there's a program I could install on that computer that would limit it's total upload capacity. Are there any programs available with this capability? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
