Title: Bandwidth settings
Post by: kwukduck on April 17, 2012, 02:50:15 AM
I've noticed a few times that during battlefield i get enormous lag spikes, or just a very high ping in general for a few minutes.
So, i went looking and found that the bitcoin client was the cause, eating away all my upload bandwidth.
I couldn't find a setting to limit the max up/down bandwidth that it should use.

Any chance this will be implemented in the near future??

In the meantime, if you are on windows: http://bandwidthcontroller.com/trafficShaperXp.html
You can also look at your router config, in the QoS part if you can set bandwitdth limits per port. Some router allow it, others only allow you to set limits per IP or MAC address.
