Is there a way to make my system limit the upload bandwidth it uses? My cable service is 1.5Mbit\160Kbit so I dont have a lot of upload bandwidth. I have a network with 3 computers (2 win XP, one 98SE) connected to a Router which is connected to my cable modem. When my brother wants to watch videos online while I am playing a game, he simply cant. HL2DM apparently hogs all of the bandwidth so he cant do a thing. When I stop playing the game, he can watch videos just fine. It works the other way around too. If hes watching videos, I cant get any good pings.
Is there a way to limit the usage on each computer (for example, split the bandwidth 70\60\30 for three computers)? It may not be as fast but at least all of the computers would have some bandwidth to do what they need to do.
EDIT: Also, itd be nice if there was a fast, "on the fly" way to do this too. Im usually up a lot later than my brother so when he isnt awake id like to get that bandwidth back to make my online gaming smoother.
