Could someone please tell me where I went wrong, I just want the internet to be more snappy when Internet download Manager is downloading.
Everytime IDM is downloading my net is a stand still, please don't say search google cause I have they have not provided the exact ports whether they are remote or local etc.
Please helpful comments only :-[

QoS only effects outbound traffic. IDM is DOWNLOAD, thats inbound traffic.
-
however it consumes all of the outbound traffic of 20kb/s and affects the browsing
-
You only have 20Kbps up?
-
Yea, 256kb/s but actual ups is 21kb/s
-
wow, thats a really small pipe. are you saying your up pipe is 256K but your throughput is 21K?
-
yep, thats Australia for you mate
-
I think that's 256 kbps, but he actually gets 21 kB/s (cca. 168 kbps).
-
set the other port thats using the bandwidth unwarranted to a really high priority number like 255. See if that helps.

Hey, there. I'm not sure what version of windows you have. I do believe Vista SP2 has this group policy setting, maybe previous versions as well. Basically what you want to do is create a new QoS policy.
start>run>gpedit.msc
under computer configuration on the left, you want to drop down to the Windows Settings, right click on Policy Based QoS and select Create New Policy. Give it a Policy name like "IDM" for example. You may be able to leave the dscp value at it's default (I have not read up on this yet). Put a check mark in the "Specify Outbound Throttle Rate" and give it a value. For example 50 KB/s. Hit next, put a dot in "only applications with this executable name" and type in the exact executable name. You can just put in for example. IDM.exe, but I would use the exact directory structure, just to prevent some problems that may arise if any. so %program files%\Microsoft\IDM.exe as an example. You will have to know the correct path of course. Hit next, and leave the defaults for source and destination. Hit next, and leave at it's defaults then hit finish. Next, close out of everything and test it out and see if it works. It should. If not, you may have to do 1 of the following, restart the computer or log off and back on again.
You can use this group policy setting for anything you want and is very handy, especially for those who have problems with torrents taking up all the bandwidth.

Never a mind, i'm bit stupid. that's outbound connections. augh! remind me not to make posts when i first wake up.

Will try that, do I set it to remote or local port. The port is 44080 I think the one in the PIC
-
There's not much room to throttle with 21 K.... anything you do (gaming, downloading..) will put the LAN to a stop...
-
I can at least try, would it be remote or local ports? for the 44080

You might be better off using a bandwidth limiter on the clients.
