Quantum Media LLC Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I know that if you are on a network using a router, that you can cap bandwidths to each computer thru the router settings... well, my router doesnt have that option, or my roomie hasn't set them... so my question is, is there a program or a computer setting to where if i am downloading or uploading files that i can have my computer use as much bandwidth as possible over our "network"???

Nightwish Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 You have to get to the admin pannel of the router. Usually it would be a number like 192.168.1.1 and then you have to log in and change the settings. If you post the details of your router maybe we could help.

Quantum Media LLC Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 well, the router is passworded and i don't have access to the info.... one of my roomies told me that he has a program that forces maximum bandwidth to his computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Well, I don't really know about any program. If the router has limited your bandwidth there is not much you can do. Unless you have the access to the router Nightwish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I found something on oldversion.com that is supposed to speed up download speed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Media LLC Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 will have to check that out... there are no bandwidth caps set on the router Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfire Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I don't think you can increase your speed to more than the limit. If the maximum speed is 512kbps and you download at 300 kbps then you can use software to boost it up but then too the speed would not possibly go beyond 512kbps.

karath Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 not unless you go in there and change it. You can use a download booster like flashget if u want to download, but if u are concerned about the actual page load up screen simply reset the router. then set it up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantum Media LLC Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 That would be great and nice and all, but, the router is set up for port forwarding and all and i am not sure what ports he has going to what computers and all. We are running 2 servers here and we have vpn so i don't want to screw anything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonfire Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I have tried download accelerator plus (DAP) and have found it very useful. The free version has ads though but I don't think that the premium version will be that expensive (didnt check out the price yet). Hope it helps you out. I used netpumper before which was much faster at downloading but I think it had spyware or something like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
