With NetLimiter, you can say goodbye to wondering about how to do it, and you can start doing it. It is a program that will help you direct your internet speed toward a particular resource or site as per your configurations. And while it may seem a little technical at first, do not worry as it is simple enough for any beginner user to understand as well.
Unique feature-set
With the limited information already told above, you might have guessed that this is indeed a unique program. NetLimiter comes with a feature set that is very unique and not many applications can do what it does.
With NetLimiter, you can set your download/upload speed limits for specific applications, connections, and so much more. At the same time, you can even monitor the traffic that is incoming and outgoing from your connection. You can change the settings whenever you require, as your requirements may be changing from time to time.
There are multiple ways through which you can manage traffic controls. You can start by selecting the specific periods throughout the day at which you would like your bandwidth to be limited to a few applications and at other times, be accessible to every application. This way, you can maximize the focus of your workday and limit any distractions that you might feel will reduce your productivity.
Statistics and Analytics
With NetLimiter, you not only have access to the settings that will help you control and monitor your internet connection and traffic, but you can also access the statistics for all the traffic as well as per-application internet usage. Now, this will be incredibly beneficial as it will expose which application is using how much internet and how it is affecting your bandwidth. Sometimes we don't know how much internet speed is one application eating.
Conclusion
Whether you feel like you require this application or not, it is a very handy program that can often make things a lot easier for you. With a simple-enough UI and a unique feature set coupled with statistics and analytics, NetLimiter becomes the ultimate deal when it comes to controlling the way you and your internet connection will work.
NetLimiter does have a free 28-day trial version, but if you want to use it for longer, you will have to pay for it.
