Download/Download speed of control with windows vista

I've searched for a solution to control my download speed on my system. I live in a House with other roommates and need to know if there is a way with windows vista to restrict my network speed and download. I looked at the software and routers, routers, or way out of my price range and offers much more, then I would need a home network. Software requires another computer to stay on at all times, working as a router/firewall software. If there is some hidden in windows settings, this would solve my problem.

Thanks, Skyday

Hi Skyday_BG,

Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

There is no option to set the download speed on a particular computer in Windows Vista. There are 3 third party applications which allows you to limit the download speed of Windows Vista.

WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

Hope the information will help. Please post back and we do know.

Thank you & best regards
