Hi,

Just wanted to know, is there any way to keep the speed of a shared network for others from dropping when doing a long/large download? I downloaded something for about 2hours at a speed of 250kbps. which I don't think is a lot(is it?), but in case of large download I'd appreciate any tips on what to do. can I limit the download speed?

I've used speedtest website and that came up with about 1.5mbps

thanks

When it comes down to it, the router will ultimately end up splitting the load for you.
If four computers are downloading and the maximum download speed is 1000kb/s, eventually all the computers will end up downloading at 250kb/s. When one computer stops, the others will speed up gradually to 333kb/s, and so on.

If other users are only viewing website pages, they are unlikely to notice any speed decrease from their surfing.
