A browser with download speed limit?

It sounds weird but on Linux I can't find a browser that allows to set a download speed limit.
I found an extension for Firefox but it works only on Windows.
I know the existence of download managers like d4x, wget, jdownloader, etc... but some downloads can only be done by browser.
I know trickle too but if I want to change the speed limit I have to 'restart' the command (interrupting the current download).
Then I didn't find an extension for Chromium.

I was able to implement [global] throttling with wondershaper. You will need to modprobe sch_cbq if you use the CBQ script (not sure about the HTB one). I use the CBQ version.

Problem with download speed when minimizing Firefox

On my desktop whenever I try to download something in Firefox and minimize the browser, the download speed will slow down to like 20 KB a second. The second I open the browser though it shoots back up to 90 KB a second and stays constant unless I minimize it again. Never had this kind of problem before when minimizing the browser so I'm wondering why it's doing this and if there's a way to fix it?

Backup your data, and try doing a soft reset. *#7370#, (use this code at your own risk, since it deletes some important data's in your phone memory, including the data of installed applications on phone memory - means if you installed a java file to your card, it stores some data in your phone memory which will be deleted when you soft reset. So you will have to reinstall that software)

Could airport issues have anything to do with download speed?

I have been experiecing at best 161KB/s download speed, not quite sure where to look for the problem, any ideas?
I have checked with two different sites that have speed tests, the results were not consistant. End result of one was a 1.31MB/s potential. I have been trying to download different movies, the download display estimates anywhere from 8-9.5 hours to download one movie. Help!

To rule out (or in) that the AirPort maybe the culprit, temporarily connect your computer directly to your Internet modem. Do you see significant improvements in the speed tests that you have run previously? If so, we can troubleshoot the AirPort to see where the problem may be.

E900 download speed limit

Hi, guys! I have an E900 router and my internet speed is 100 mbps, but I only download with about 5 MB/s. Could anyone help me solve this issue? Thank you.

Can you try connecting a computer straight to the modem and check if you are getting a 100Mbps straight to it so we could isolate further. If the issue is only through the router, update the firmware of the router, reset and reconfigure it then check it again.

Issue with download speeds

I have been helping out a family friend in his 70's. His broadband speeds have dropped dramatically over the past couple of months.
We have tested everything.
1) We had a line check came back as OK
2) We checked and changed the filter
3) We checked the cable from the filter to the router
4) We reset the router
5) I have now tried the connection on two differenct machines.
We have checked everything.
The connection used to be fine. This only started happening when the exchange was upgraded to Infinity in our area.
I don't believe it is anything to do with our end, and I wish someone from BT could see if it is anything to do with the exchange, because something is not right here.
Take a look at the downstream, it is appalling. Any pointers.
Here are the stats
ADSL Line Status

Line state:   Connected
Connection time:   0 days, 00:31:53

you are in abanded profile due to either noise on the line causing drops in connection or to many manual resets trying to improve the speed or both.
are you connected to the master socket or preferably the test socket? do you have any other sockets in other rooms?
try quiet line test dial 17070 option 2 should hear nothing and best with corded phone if cordless dull hum is normal
banding normally releases automatically if conenction ok and remains stable for 3/5 days with no resets

Browser with Download Bar?

When I download a file on Safari it just sits there until the file is ready to open and the "open in app" window shows. Do any of the other browsers for the iPad actually show a progress bar for downloads so you have some idea how long it will take?
Thanks!

Except for the Duo, Atomic, Perfect and other browsers in the app store...
Just wondering if any of them show progress while downloading a file.

Slow download speeds only on Bootcamp partition with Time Capsule

I recently switched from a Netgear router to an older 3TB Time Capsule (Model A1409). Everything works fine on the Mac side with download speeds around 25 Mbps, but when I switch to the Windows 7 partition it drops to around 1 Mbps or less. I'm running Bootcamp 5.0 and to my knowledge have all the necessary drivers.
My roommates running Windows 7 on their PC's aren't experiencing this problem. All my other devices are also working correctly.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Did you ever find a fix for this problem? It's something I've been living with for months.

E900 wireless router- slow download speeds

So I have xfinity internet with download speeds up to 25mbps. But according to the online test I'm getting speeds up to 10. I googled online and found that I could disable the WMM but when I tried that it actually made it worse, which i couldn't find anyone else that said that happened to. I'm using a mac computer, and motorola docsis 3.0 sb6121 modem. I've been trying to do my online work and it's really annoying that my websites are freezing up and taking forever to load. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The 25mbps download speed, is it the actual speed that you are getting wired directly to the modem using the online test? If not, then you need to clear it out from your internet provider.
Is the 10 mbps the speed that you're getting wired or wirelessly connected to the router? If wireless, try connecting your computer directly to the router using an ethernet cable. If both wired and wireless connections are slow, then you may need to upgrade your router's firmware or adjust MTU settings. Use the links below as your guide.

How to change MTU size
Downloading the router's firmware
Upgrading router's firmware
If the slow internet connection is evident only to wireless devices and not on the wired connection, then you need to adjust your router's wireless settings or do the following: change the wireless security to WPA2 personal, adjust wireless channel to lessen interference (usetrial and error to test which channel works for your network environment), place router in an open space, bring electronic devices away from the router, and check the wireless adapter on your computer -make sure that drivers are also up to date. Also remember that if multiple devices are connected to your router and browsing/downloading from the internet at the same time, it will surely lower the speed on every computer.

Crawling Wifi Download Speeds from iTunes Store

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 10.7, my download speeds from the iTunes store have slowed to a crawl. Prior to upgrading, I was able to download video podcasts and other media @ over 10 mbps over wifi. I have tried this on several other networks, and am experiencing the same speed issues. This does not appear to be a router issue or a FiOS issue; I have done all of the usual troubleshooting and do not seem to have any issues with download speeds outside of the iTunes store.
I am running the iTunes 10.7, and have updated OSX to the latest release of ML.
Is anyone else experiencing ridiculously slow download speeds through the iTunes store using iTunes for Mac or iOS 6 devices?

I have a 50x5 Mbit cable business class modem, from Time Warner, in my house (doing that give me priority bandwidth over other residences).... Also as a business class there's no data caps or port blockings. The most I EVER get from the iTunes Store is 4-5MBytes/sec (about 35 Mbits)... Usually I get 1-2 MBytes/sec to iTunes or any device
My guesses are
1) Apple just doesn't have the bandwidth during certain times
2) I notice they throttle accounts. If I download an entire hd season, I start out fast, then it slows after a few hrs... Im guessing apple has a max data cap per day then slows you down.
3) I also don't think Apple is capable of handling all the new 35-50Mbit connections that are now readily available from the big cable companies.
Im in Charlotte, NC, USA

IPad 2 / Apple TV slower download speed than laptop?

My Apple TV (gen 2) and iPad 2 both have issues with download speeds. Netflix has pretty much become useless on my Apple TV due to the slow download speeds. I'm currently using CableOne for my internet provider and I consistently get ~ 20-25Mbps download speeds on my laptop, but only around 0.75Mbps on the iPad 2.
I use a Linksys WRT64G router and currently have it set to use wireless "G" only, QoS and WMM disabled, WPA Personal Security with AES encryption and the wireless set to channel 1. All these settings were based off other user's findings that have had the same issues and yet I'm still having problems.
Both the iPad and the router have been rebooted without improvements.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance...

wireless is unreliable for the speedtest as it varies depending on home conditions so only way accpeted is by cable. if that also shows a problem then you can take it from there

Download speeds very slow

I've seen many other threads on slow download speeds, however most of those were last summer/fall after people upgraded to Lion. I bought a new iMac with Lion preinstalled (last summer) and have not had issues with download speeds until that last month or two. I believe the issue started with the Feb 1, 2012 system upgrade to 10.7.3. The iMac started to intermittently drop the wifi network. At this point the download speeds were also significantly slower. There was a patch that more or less fixed the dropping issue, however the download speeds are still awful. It still occasionally drops the wifi network, but not as often as before.
I've tried a few things to troubleshoot.
1) I have a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard and I'm able to download a 2GB file in about 25 minutes wirelessly. On the iMac it estimates over 2 hours but takes longer.
2) I checked the firmware on my Qwest Actiontec modem, and it's up to date.
3) when I plug my iMac directly into the modem with an ethernet cable it's able to download the 2GB file in about 25 minutes.
Thoughts on how to resolve this?
Thanks!

Hi
I am in exactly the same situation with the ASA 5510 running security plus license, version 8.0(5) 512 MB RAM

cureently download speeds are very bad aroudn 14MB where as uploads are around 96 MB

Very slow download speed with Airport Express

Hi.
I've recently experienced painfully slow downlink (download) speed using Airport Express.
My WiFi configuration:
- main router: WRT54G connected to my provider (speed limit: 4Mbit up/down link),
- AirPort Express with WiFi N and Airtunes hooked up to stereo in living room,
- AirPort Express WiFi G and Airtunes connected to stereo on bedroom.
Second Airport is currently not used to simplify tests and description of my problem.
The problem: when connecting from MacBook to Airport Express I can't reach more than approx. 512kbit downloading from internet, usually even 300kbit, while uplink reaches easily 2.5Mbit (limited probably by my network provider). While connected to WRT54G I can get 2.5 up to 4Mbit downlink, same when using cable directly plugged in to WRT54G.
I tried changing channels, switching different options in Airport with no effect - still getting pathetic download speeds. Even worse - browsing experience is awful, with frequent slowdowns, etc.
I tried different encryption methods, and seems like only switching it off at all (unprotected network) seems to let my Airport work on full speed (2.5Mbits symmetrically up/down, up to 4Mbits - provider speed limit) - which is unacceptable, I refuse to set up and use unprotected network at home.
Problem is clearly in Airport or in interaction between Airport and Macbook. I've just ran out of ideas - can you help me?

I can't offer any help with your problem except for the fact that mine has recently done the exact same thing. It's ridiculous, for months and months it was extremely fast and then all of a sudden it takes 20 minutes to open a simple browser page. Something is definitely wrong with the airport because all other wireless internet connections from other routers are as usual. \

Limit download speed

I just started using mac so I have no knowledge on how to use it. I share a network with my brother and so far I have not found an application that allows me to download stuff and limit the download speed. Every time I start downloading stuff the download browser will take up all the bandwidth and my brother is left with none. Is there a way to cap the download speed with safari or use an application that can do it when downloading.
Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
You would need to apply a service-policy to police the bandwidth to that user. As you will most likely be natting to the internet, you will need to apply this policy to the inside interface attaching to the user host. You would need to rely on windowing af the PC connection also to ensure the stream is actually slowed absolute. By this I mean that the download has already hit the ASA by the time we want to slow it down, so if its not a TCP connection, you may find that the ASA will need to buffer the rest of the exceeding traffic. Unlike routers, the ASA does not drop exceeds, it throttles.
