Throttle Downloads

[dougc84]

Is there not a way to throttle downloads with Product Manager?  I finally pulled the trigger on the Superior Drummer 3 update, and can’t download the library parts because Product Manager literally eats my entire 60/60 connection.  When downloading anything, I can’t watch any streaming videos and websites are basically unusable.  And that goes for every device on my network.

Hi,

there is no way to do that in the PM, no. Please feel free to make a request for such a feature in the ‘Requests & Feedback’ section.

 

BR,

In the meantime, maybe you can set it up by trying option 2 or 3 on this blog post:

Thanks guys.

And Henrik, that doesn’t work on macOS, who canned the ipfw tool on macOS around 10.11 (give or take a version), and cannot be reinstalled due to System Integrity Protection.  Bandwidth cannot be limited by any app – free or paid – on macOS without each app’s own implementation.

Ah ok! It was a swing and miss there from my side 🙂 I’ll take a note of your request to our feature request list for Product Manager.
