web browsing vs. torrent traffic, and bandwidth priority?
- by suli8
recently i did download big torrent files. (120 Gb). and i need to seed them back to at least 1.5 ratio. my upload speed is 130 Kb/s max.
the problem is that i need to seed them as fast as possible. but i browse the web a lot. and browsing with no upload left, can be very frustrating.
I'm looking for something like this,
torrent are on max. seeding rate, but when the browser needs the
bandwidth, it gets it. priority is to web browser, but when not
needed, torrent can be at max.
i'm aware that i can change torrent client max speed. but doing it
manually everytime and every 5 minutes or so, is hard.
Info:
i'm using firefox/chrome
my torrent client is Ktorrent
i'm on 11.10 with unity
i do have a router, it's a HAG. and i can't access all it's properties.
is this possible even?
changing the priority in the system monitor for the applications can do the job?the nice value i mean.
is there a way to set priority bandwidth usage for different apps?
thank you!
