Is there a program for Windows that can selective limit bandwidth of a running process? Open source or freeware are preferable.

I use NetBalancer. While its a paid software, a free version exists, but can restrict traffic on upto 5 processes at a time.

By default it doesn't monitor internal LAN transfers and it doesn't balance until 80% of the bandwidth is used. You can configure it though. – Jader Dias Jul 12 '11 at 20:16

I use Net Limiter, which is free.

NetLimiter is an ultimate internet traffic control and monitoring tool designed for Windows. You can use NetLimiter to set download/upload transfer rate limits for applications or even single connection and monitor their internet traffic.

Along with this unique feature, Netlimiter offers comprehensive set of internet statistical tools. It includes real-time traffic measurement and long-term per-application internet traffic statistics

Internet facing router is a better place for traffic shapers, just like every entrance to VPN. PS i used to use netlimiter before installing alternate firmware on home gateway.
