Bandwidth limiter program?

Chaos Master

Hi.

I wish to find a program to limit bandwidth of a program?
I want to limit a download (done via Wget) to 2kb/s so I can keep
browsing in the background and MSN/ICQ/IRC/whatever don't keep giving
timeouts because all my band width is being used.

Q: Is there freeware for bandwidth limiting of a program? The OS is
Windows 98 SE.

The OS is useless, but wget is gold. You're going to be happy to hear
this... check out wget's options:

--limit-rate=RATE limit download rate to RATE.

Very good... I didn't remember this.
(I have deleted the manual pages when I was low on disk space)

Check out "wget --help" (no need for manual pages)
