<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;border:none;padding:0in'>Hi
everyone,<br>
<br>
It's common knowledge that utilising your upload speed affects the download
speed, but this goes a bit too far:<br>
When I upload something with f-spot I'm practically unable to download anything
else, I can't even browse the web normally.<br>
<br>
Is f-spot somehow managing the traffic wrong? Because it's the only application
I'm having this problem with, and it's like that on every website I upload
files too (facebook, flickr, my own gallery)<br>
<br>
Is there maybe a way to throttle the upload speed of applications individually?<o:p></o:p></p>

font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>After about 80% of your
current max upload is taken, your download becomes severely affected. BitTorrent
makes this problem very apparent, which is why they added the ability to limit
bandwidth from within the program. Obviously though, f-spot doesn’t have
that ability, or else you wouldn’t be asking this question. There might
be something available that limits the computer’s bandwidth from within
Linux, but I’ve found the best solution is to set the Quality of Service
in your router to cap the maximum upload/download speeds for the entire network
(80% upload, 90% download, for instance). That ensures that the thresholds on
either the upload and download are never reached, so the other doesn’t
get throttled.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>That assumes you’ve got
a router which supports QoS, or a router that’s capable of being flashed
with DD-WRT. If not, then there’s probably a local fix for your computer.
The QoS settings would be the more elegant way of doing it, imo.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
