Software utilities
The easiest method to limit your upload speeds on a computer is with a third-party application to limit network transfer rates. Below are examples of software programs designed to limit the upload speed.
- NetLimiter official website.
- NetBalancer official website.
- Charles official website.
- trickle (runs on most Linux distributions).
We also recommend checking the program serving the files for an upload setting that you can adjust. Some programs that serve files to other computers may not set limits on uploads.
Network router
Finally, some network routers also have settings that can be adjusted to limit the amount of upload and download speed available for the router or per port. See router documentation to see if this is an available feature and how to set up this feature.
