Home routers should have some traffic control build in. Modern routers prioritize at least ACK packets. Your router seems not to be able to do this, but you can do it yourself with "tc" - traffic control. Example is here: http://www.funtoo.org/Traffic_Control#ACKs Susefirewall has it built in too. Search for FW_HTB_TUNE_DEV in /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2. Read the comment above, set it and restart the firewall. On 04/14/2014 03:24 AM, Carlos E. R. wrote:
Hi,
My internet bandwidth is only 1 Mbit/s. On the occasions when I have to use Firefox to download something large, that can take an hour, I can not do anything with Internet on any other thing on the machine during that time. Even DNS fails to respond.
I prefer to use something like wget and limit its bandwidth, but some downloads have to be done directly by Firefox (like a youtube video).
So... Can I limit the download speed used by Firefox, when downloading files?
