Internet Traffic Control And Monitoring Tool

[Member]

As there are serious intenet issues in Thailand I wonder if this tool, Netbalancer (today free via Giveawayoftheday) can help ? I am not affiliated with this site -and I don't wish so as often they offer crap- but I wonder if this tool might be useful in situations with poor internet.

Downloaded and installed.

Let's see how it copes with our chronically bad internet connection here in Incredible India (Bangalore), we get it even worse than in Thailand, considering Bangalore is supposed to be the IT capital of India it's seriously bad (that is assuming the power is on, but that's another story).

NetBalancer is a traffic-shaping program similar to cFosSpeed, which is quite popular among the locals. I suppose it could be a useful tool in some scenarios.

It could prove to be useful on a home network or even a single PC. Let's say you wanted to play games online or stream videos whilst downloading torrents at the same time. In most cases, bit torrent would hog all the bandwidth causing severe lag in games or endless buffering (video streaming). With software like cFosSpeed, traffic can be prioritized in a way that will allow you to do all these things at once...

Any decent router/modem will have Qos settings availble, in it. Decent is pretty generous bc the shit one given to me for free by my ISP has it
