Are there any options how do I limit the upload bandwidth used to say 25% or 50% of the full upload bandwidth? While uploading files:

  • in the web-browser,
  • in the email client like outlook,
  • FTP clients etc.

The upload limitation could work either:

  • as a plugin in the web-browser (any plugin for firefox?) for browser uploads,
  • as a system tool.

BitTorrent can do it well (but unfortunatelly not as percent), the best way it is implemented is in WinSCP.

40% accept rate
I think you could use some kind of proxy server that can limit network bandwith, but not for concrete app or kind of apps. – Sergey Vedernikov Jan 24 at 6:51

You can use the Qos (Quality of Service) in your router to cut down your upload speeds to the speed you choose.

Thanks, but my question was about client side solution - how to voluntarily throttle down the data I send. – Tomas Apr 18 at 11:03
