K4ylan Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 kinda strange to want to download something slower....I understand your reasoning, but still, weird idea. Anyway, I don't think there is program for that, just run firefox and dl a bunch of useless add-on, it'll make it slower. Also open up a bunch of random tabs, run a couple of flash games in the background. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_dmt1234 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 well i have 25gb download speed, and sometimes i end up using 3 days worth in a few hours, i tried that but it still downloads as fast ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracion1 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 25Gb limit or speed? If it's the latter then I call "Hax!" :eek: I know certain programs let you limit speed (uTorrent), but tbh by slowing down the speed you're not going to change the size of a youtube video, it'll just take longer to load. I'd suggest doing a hunt for programs that fix the description you posted, and also, try and limit how much time you spend on the web. If you still can't limit yourself enough, how about getting an 'unlimited' net connection? "In the beginning, the universe was created.

lordkafei Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I use Free Download Manager to limit downloading speeds. It lets you right click on files & download them through the manager. You can limit the download speed through the app.It hooks into both Firefox & IE, possibly others. Not sure how this would integrate with YouTube. You could Google "bandwidth throttle connection app" and get some different approaches.

Sy_Accursed Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Yeah I fail to see how limiting download speed will help anything. If your only allowed 25gb a month of net usage whether you slow a download down so it takes hours/days or let it burn through in a few minutes its still gonna use the exact same bandwidth.

Laura Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Yeah I fail to see how limiting download speed will help anything. If your only allowed 25gb a month of net usage whether you slow a download down so it takes hours/days or let it burn through in a few minutes its still gonna use the exact same bandwidth.If he watches 100+ YouTube videos per day, half of which he stops halfway through, that's a good chunk of 'unused' data. By throttling the speed, he can effectively match the download speed at the rate he views the videos and thus no data goes unused. :) It works for YouTube videos, but it wouldn't work effectively for downloading files. However, since the throttle is controlled via a piece of software, it can be changed depending on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
