Would like to see a timed throttling capability

Post by duffer99 »

From the main page I know you can throttle, and you can pause for a preset time. But I would like to throttle for a preset time. I tried it in the scheduler, but It's cumbersome, when the other tools are so easy. I have some lag issues with Netflix, Hulu etc at full speed, but I don't' want to go full stop until everyone goes to bed. Would love to see a throttle to X speed, for X minutes from the main page. Great program BTW.

No immediate plans to implement such a thing.
It would mean yet another entry in the mile-long wishlist, especially one with tricky UI questions.
Currently you can set a speed limit from the main page and clear it manually.
I'll put it on the to-do list, but it will be quite a wait.

Have you looked at port-based QoS speed limiting in your router?

I did look at that a while back. Guess I'll take another look. Thanks for the reply though.
