Throttled for Mac: The Ultimate Bandwidth Shaping Application

Are you tired of experiencing slow download speeds and high latency connections on your server? Do you want to prioritize certain applications or games over others to ensure a smooth online experience? Look no further than throttled, the bandwidth shaping application for Mac OS X and FreeBSD.

Throttled allows you to cap your upstream bandwidth, prioritize TCP ACK packets, and keep your download speeds high even when your server is sending out at full speed. With its easy-to-use interface, you can set a global bandwidth cap for all your applications or multiple caps with different speeds to guarantee all your servers a certain amount of bandwidth. You can also set up weighted queues for your network data to guarantee low-latency SSH, Telnet, etc connections on your server.

But that's not all - throttled includes optimizations for many popular online games including Unreal Tournament 2004, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Ghost Recon, Starcraft, Warcraft II & III and Diablo II. This means that you can enjoy uninterrupted gameplay without worrying about lag or slow connection speeds.

One of the key features of throttled is its ability to prioritize TCP ACK packets. This ensures consistent bandwidth in both directions even under heavy server load. By prioritizing these packets over other types of traffic such as file downloads or streaming video content, throttled ensures that important data is delivered quickly and efficiently.

Another great thing about throttled is that it uses almost no resources. CPU usage is around 0-3% and it uses less than 500k of RAM. This means that it won't slow down other applications running on your system or cause any performance issues.

If you're interested in customizing the software further or contributing to its development then good news - the source code is freely available! Throttled has been released under the GPL license so anyone can modify it as they see fit (just make sure to read the COPYING file in the distribution).
