[Maq.H]

On your computer, you browse the Internet, download files, watch streaming videos, send and receive emails, do some P2P, etc.. When you all at the same time, even with a broadband connection, your bandwidth is not sufficient and should be divided among your various applications.

As a result, P2P or other intensive application monopolizes virtually all your resources which leads to the slower your internet browsing to your emails, ...

If multiple computers share a single Internet connection, this drop in download speed also affects other computers on your network.

Not to undergo this reduction in bandwidth applications that you believe are priorities, you can divide bandwidth according to your needs. The software and NetLimiter will allow you to define for each software, but also for each of your computers, the maximum bandwidth they can use.

Your bandwidth allows you to download normally to 600 kbps? With 3 computers, you can for example limit the speed to 200 kbps on each of them. Each computer will provide a guaranteed bandwidth. Nothing prevents you no longer on each computer in addition to limit the bandwidth of particular software.
