Bandwidth limiting
Bandwidth limiting is useful when the total download or upload bandwidth (or
both) of your internet connection are maxed out by file transfers of
DC++. With this function you can control your bandwidth usage and keep free
bandwidth for other applications or other members of your local
network. Limiting your bandwidth slightly under the maximum speed of your
connection is also useful on certain types of internet connections (eg. DSL)
where uploading near the maximum possible speed may affect the speeds of
your downloads and vica versa.
Transfer rate limiting
- Maximum upload rate
-
This specifies the maximum upload rate value in KiB/s. Zero value means no
limiting at all. (default: 0)
- Maximum download rate
-
This specifies the maximum download rate value in KiB/s. Zero value means no
limiting at all. (default: 0)
Secondary transfer rate limiting
- Use second set of bandwidth limits
-
With this function you can specify alternate bandwidth limiting and upload
slot values to be used in a certain time interval of a day. Note that
setting the same time value for beginning and ending will disable the
function.
Secondary transfer rate limiting settings
- Maximum upload rate
-
This specifies the maximum upload rate value for the alternative limiting
period in KiB/s. Zero value means no limiting at all. (default: 0)
- Maximum download rate
-
This specifies the maximum download rate value for the alternative limiting
period in KiB/s. Zero value means no limiting at all. (default: 0)
- Upload slots
-
Here you can set the number of opened upload slots for the alternative
limiting period. (default: 1)
