What is Reddit's opinion of
NetBalancer?

I prefer netbalancer. You can limit the global speed and/or individual programs at your own will. If you've got someone else's software monitoring your computer like University exam monitors, it might be detected, I don't know, I wasn't caught but that's just the software that they used, haven't tried it on others
I found a sort of band-aid fix if it's the game uploading data that's causing your problem.
I used https://netbalancer.com/ to limit the upload speed of Steam to 25 KB/s and MK 10 KB/s. That's the lowest I could put it without causing any lag, if you notice any lag in character select then you have it set too low. I think by default it also limits the download speed and packets per second, so just put those as something high.
It still sometimes starts uploading and causes a little lag for a second, but not enough to drop the game.
I just played 5 ranked sets and didn't desync any.
There's a program called Netbalancer which enables you to throttle download speeds for each individual program on your pc. I also used it to throttle my GW2 installer downloads.
try monitoring your bandwidth and ping while playing using NetBalancer https://netbalancer.com/download i used/using it to troubleshoot my connection issues with gwent it have a small cute popup that can be seen whole playing
If you don't want to do all that, you assign how much bandwidth windows update could use by downloading this netballancer . Windows updates use svchost.exe so you can limit how it uses to update. With this program, I can also see how much bandwidth each application uses. Img
Maybe something like NetBalancer? But the free version is limited:
>The unregistered version is limited to a maximum of 3 process priorities/limits and 3 rules at a time. Since version 6.0 all other limits have been removed.
Try your luck with a tool that does per-process bandwidth limitation instead, such as NetLimiter or NetBalancer. I have personally used NetLimiter but I am unsure of what extent these programs allow you to limit bandwidth using only their free version.
There isn't any setting in qbittorrent that I am aware of that will do what you are looking for. I believe Netbalancer allows you to set a network priority for different programs on your computer, so you could set qbittorrent to low priority and everything else high priority.
- [NetBalancer 9.12.2]
- [Windows 10]
- [<strong>https://netbalancer.com/</strong>]
- [Internet traffic control and monitoring tool]
- [Because i have a very bad internet and want limit the bandwidth of some processes]
- Netbalancer 9.12
- Windows 10

- Windows application for local network traffic control and monitoring
- I have a metered internet conection and can't go above my data cap because Id' have to pay too much. I found that this software helps me on keeping my data usage on track. I know there are some free alternatives, but they don't have the features this software have. Also it's a bit expensive itself. Thanks.
For routers that don't have good firmware you can potentially use NetBalancer to throttle programs that are consuming an extreme amount of available bandwidth. Setting programs to low or medium priority will by default prevent them from using the full network's bandwidth. This will only work for applications on your system consuming bandwidth (although it is possible to install it on multiple devices and throttle the whole network).
Probably the single biggest offender for me is Windows 10 update which really likes to download all of its updates whenever the fuck it pleases at full blast and completely destroy network performance for everything else on the network when it does it. And the real dumb thing is despite hours of googling I haven't been able to find any way to throttle these updates out of the box without disabling updates entirely.
I use netbalancer. However, it costs money and it's primary focus is for balancing the bandwidth a process/service is allowed to use. But it can show you everything that generates any traffic either direction and give you reports.
I've used a program called NetBalancer in the past to monitor which applications or processes are using bandwidth.
https://netbalancer.com/download - The free trial is a bit restrictive but it should give you a good idea of what's going on network wise.
You could also try looking in resource monitor under the network tab to see if that gives you any clues but netbalancer might be a bit easier to read.
NetBalancer can set for any process a download and/or upload network priority or limit (shareware). Another great one is the good, old NetLimiter.
Personally I used TMeter in the past and worked fine but it takes some time to configure. The good thing about TMeter is the free version that allows you to create up to four filters.
I'd also like to recommend using a bandwidth usage tracking tool like NetBalancer for Windows. The free version is very helpful for tracking active bandwidth usage. Has a nice little graph too.
for some reason everything fixed itself after installing NetBalancer today, and rebooting, and letting the program do whatever it wanted to in setting up some sort of prioreties (I clicked to fast to notice) https://netbalancer.com/
I'm completely clueless why this worked. But now I have over 100Mbps down again :D

You could look at NetBalancer. Its comprehensive application that may provide you with stats about sources/destinations like you ask.
Its feature-set is nice enough to pay for imho.
Dropbox, icloud, gdrive all have these options, try and upload something in onedrive and it eats your bandwidth, ALL OF IT* where you are unable to do anything else.
On a side note: anyone use netbalancer? https://netbalancer.com/
I assume you're talking about your network.
You can use a program called netbalancer to view the traffic on your machine, but not on the network. You may try restarting your router as well.
Programs such as netflix or youtube typically use the most bandwidth, so if someone is watching a movie, well, you know what's causing it.
>I have something of a download speed of somewhere between 50-35MB/s and as soon and WoT huggs ALL of it as soon as it patches. Can't watch youtube videos at 144p while the loadingbar for WoT moves at about 3-5MB/s.
But to answer your question ...
Use something like NetBalancer to manage which programs get how much of your available bandwidth.
Personally I prefer my WoT patching done ASAP, but to each his own.
Rather than constantly enabling/disabling your network adapter, another option is download the free/trial version of netbalancer and just block that application from being able to access the internet.
...it's also just a really handy program to see which apps are eating all your bandwidth.
Damn I was having this same issue, the software that comes with Samsung SSD's uploads data randomly and was hogging my connection. You can try using https://netbalancer.com/ it will list all programs on the computer and what they are doing network wise. That's how I finally found the culprit for my similar issue.
i actually have a ubiquiti wifi AP, which allows me to monitor traffic through provided software(though it opens in a browser so i have no idea) my router is a cisco/linksys RV042 or something like that. its a dual wan router used for load balancing between 2 super shitty 3mbps DSL connections(its all i can get, and its slowly killing me, REALLY SLOWLY).
though as you describe it, traffic monitoring in that fashion may be farther down the rabbit hole than i'm willing to go(and therefore deeper into my wallet than necessary). i was hoping for a GUI that basically just shows active connections and their current transfer rate, which can then be sorted, a la netbalancer.
what about using link aggregation for 2 cat5e cables from the switch to a windows desktop for doubling my link speed?(both ports onboard the motherboard)
thanks so much!
I really have no idea. You installed the LAN driver right? I assume so since you shouldn't be able to connect with out one.
Why don't you try downloading this program called NetBalancer
Click 'Download v8.5.1'.
If things are really slow you might have to download it on your other computer and transfer via USB.
Once you run it will show a graph along that bottom with total download speed in green.
I have a 16 Mbit connection so if run a speed test (http://testmy.net/ or http://www.speedtest.net/) I can see that I get around 2.0-2.1 MB/sec peak download speed (2 MB/sec = 16 Mbit/sec).
I'm not sure how fast your internet connection is but try running some speed tests and see what the results are, both according to NetBalancer and according to the speed test websites.
I think you said you had a laptop right?
Then try connecting your laptop to the same Ethernet cable you are using, and disable the WiFi on your laptop so you are using the Ethernet cable only. Then run the speed tests on the laptop. Let me know what speeds you get on the laptop compared to the desktop.
You are right that skype is a tricky one to block or slow down with its p2p connections and encrypted data transfer. What network hardware do you have? Some sonicwalls can do this.
You could look at a local application that would limit the bandwidth given to the app such as NetBalancer. https://netbalancer.com/ (I installed it in a vm and it looks good)
I had a few users watching movies online and streaming hd security cams all day on their 5 Mbps connection shared by 30 people (ouch) so I had to deploy a QOS , bandwidth limits and blocks.
I used Pandora witth Hola until 2 weeks ago. Now i use spotify.
For the one getting lag using Spotify or iTunes, try this little program called NetBalancer
It alows you to specify the bandwish to each program or even give priorities. Now i play LoL without any kind of lag using spotify. If this get any atention i can make a tutorial if needed
