    mIRC: Is it possible to limit the download ? And for the firewall ?

    Hi @all.

    Any reasoning why you want to make your downloads go slower?

    Leaving more download bandwidth for other applications maybe?

    On topic: NetLimiter should do the job.

    Yes. Probably the wisest thing

    Why download everything at the same time? That way you have to wait ages to get anything. Might as well schedule better. And in case "other apps" are stuff like firefox, your OS would probably schedule that decently enough

    Impatience. And if you were able to read my PM box, you'd see TheDeathless can be strongly associated with that noun

    Thedeathless, are you trying to try all kind of filesharing/p2p program at the moment? . From emule, torrent and now irc?

    Btw, I suggest you to try usenet next time (joke)

    And try to not use different downloading application at the same time because it'll make your bandwidth wasted on overhead of each download application

    afaik it can be done by default only if you're serving files, but for limiting downloads you'll probably have to search for a mirc script that does this

    or try another irc client, like KVIrc

    # IRC

    * Multiserver connection
    * Notify lists (yes, WATCH is supported)
    * Ignore lists
    * Registered users database
    * Lag meter
    * Configurable logging
    * Standard DCC CHAT and SEND (with resume) support
    * Extended DCC types: VOICE, RSEND, GET, RECV
    * DCC CHAT over SSL
    * DCC bandwidth limit (ability to set it "on the fly")
    Code:
    http://www.kvirc.net/?id=features&lang=en

    it would be better to have all ports 'locked' and when some app needs it you can unlock it manually (by using some firewall app) - i wouldn't recommend using windows firewall at all

    You can limit your download speed so your upload speed would be higher than your download speed, and this is how you gain ratio without cheating the system.
