I looked for one also but could not find anything. The one thing I thought of that would be bad about a program like this is that it could limit ALL uploads from that computer, even file transfers, games, ect coming out of the interface.

thanks mate,

i guess QoS is a program? or an "idea"?

the whole reason i want a program that does this is because when im playing online games, my damn Dad keeps sending 10mb emails every five minutes, sending my ping through the roof cos it instantly uses ALL the bandwidth ;( ;(

i have a hardware router, cos im a hardware first kinda guy

but it doesnt have this facility on it unfortunately

I had looked into QoS a while back, and correct me if I am wrong (it does happen) but I thought QoS required QoS-compliant hardware... Including NICs, switches, routers, etc.
