Title: Firefox gurus...
Post by: firestorm225 on Tuesday, September 04, 2007, 10:24:07 AM
Are there any extensions that allow you to limit your download speed? I'm on a 150kbps connection at home shared between 4 computers and when I'm download something that maxes out my connection I slow down all the other people using the internet at home. For some strange reason I haven't been able to find an extension that does this... I tried DownloadThemAll which doesn't have that functionality, and it seems like the only solution is using FlashGot and an external download manager. Surely there must be an extension that can do this?

You can probably deal with that through the router.

Right.  Yeah I was thinking of some sort of QoS.  Of course you'd need a router that supports it or a router that has third party firmware available that supports it.

So there's nothing like the excellent SpeedScheduler (http://students.cs.byu.edu/~djsmith/azureus/speed_scheduler_main.jpg) plugin for Azureus? That's a shame.
