splitting bandwidth between PCs

Post by **horton** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 1:42 pm

i have 1 pc running various p2p programs which is killing my bandwidth

ive tried turning the max DL/UL right down, and no matter what, my other PCs are still unable to connect to anything..

whats the easy way to sort this?

I have a router, but it doesnt seem to have any features that will solve this

are you sure its the bandwidth? im assuming you're using BT. limit the number of global connections to say 10-15. a lot of times it's not upstream saturation that causes connectivity issues but all the connections to other peers, not unlike DoS'ing yourself.

Yeah, my understanding of what's happening in situations like this is that the P2P program is opening so many connections, that the router's inadequate processing power can't keep up with what it's doing... so the occasional web request you try to send through has to queue up and wait for the mass of P2P requests to process.

p1k's suggestion might help you.
