What is NetLimiter?
NetLimiter is an ultimate internet traffic control tool designed for Win98/Win98 SE, WinME, WinNT4, Win2000 and WinXP. It is suited to monitor applications which access the internet and actively control their internet traffic. You can use NetLimiter to set (download/upload) speed limits for applications or even single connection. Simply, NetLimiter allows you to share your internet connection bandwidth among all applications running on your PC.
With this unique and ônever seen beforeö feature Netlimiter offers comprehensive set of internet statistical tools which includes real-time traffic measurement and long-term per-application internet traffic statistics. With NetLimiter you finally become the master of your internet connection.
The NetLimiterÆs Purpose is as simple as unique. Nowadays when internet spreads quickly throughout the world and most of the modern Windows applications access this medium, becomes the role of NetLimiter more than important. Many Windows applications access internet, but without any outer userÆs control. That is what NetLimiter fixes. With this tool you can rule such applications by dividing your bandwidth among them, all in the real time.
LetÆs look at the following example:
You have got ADSL internet connection with bandwidth 192/64 kb/s (download/upload speed; kb = kilobit). You start download of NetLimiter from our website using Internet Explorer browser, as it is usual, and while downloading file, you want to continue browsing NetLimiter website. When you attempt to do it, you realize that www pages load very slowly despite your fast internet connection and broad bandwidth. The reason behind such behavior lies in the way how most applications act on the internet. Simply, they are like vultures which try to tear largest part of your bandwidth for itself. The NetLimiter was born to tame them. Use this tool to set speed limit for download session, letÆs say 4 kB/s (kB/s = kiloByte = 8 kilobits), and the rest of your bandwidth will be used for fast and much more comfortable browsing (or any other internet activity).
