"Arbitrary numbers suck. Every time any of you propose anything along the lines of 90% or 3/4, anytime any of you actually propose specific numbers, you're probably doing something wrong. You're not letting the computers manage themselves." We're not doing something wrong, ADSL is doing something wr...

A download limiter based request system with some level of customizable automatisation seems the best option to me. I suggested it in the Upload limiter thread as well, you might want to cast your vote there.

Pseudo code, well I'm sorry I'm really not a coder. My Pascal days are way past. - For the request flooding, you could simply add an option to automatically accept capping requests. (conditionally maybe as you suggested) Also I didn't mean people without capping are banned but that those who request...

It's not efficient nor is it elegant, but in the absence of better proposals... For multiple streams I would say it would need to reevaluate max capacity everytime a stream is opened. Say I've got 3 uploads going, my 4th port is requested -> burst send to all 4, get a new max, and cap the total to 9...

Well to the user who wants to download from me obviously.
This way obviously we lose a few percent on download even if the download wouldn't saturate the upload limit but with the ratios of up/down capacities being what they are I don't see a major hurdle in that really.

Uhand sorry for the double post but Cryptolitic, could you give details on what one has to do there exactly? Is this relieably possible in Win98 as well? And how exactly does the buffer size alievate the problem, anyways. My (naive) understanding was that buffers help with lag but that this is a ban...

Could we figure out the max speed by a burst executed at the initialisation of the connection? Establish the connection, send burst for 2 seconds, meassure the 2nd second transfer rate and take 75-90% of this. (I hav an highly assymetric but in Germany unfortunately common 768/128 connection so I do...

...

Not seeing this thread I opened another one but wouldlike to voice my opinion here, too. And Upload Limit is needed for various reasons mentioned above. Most of all nobody really cares about upload speed normally. If I allow 96KBit/s of my 128Kbit/s upload I don't lose anything, so I'm likely to do ...

Upload speed limit

For ADSL users it is inacceptible to not have an upload speed limit since with many uploads happening out downloads rate drop to a trickle (<1Kbs for me). The small send buffer option does not work for me. Hacked clients like BCDC++are not accepted by most hubs. For me the only viable option is to r...
