Download speed settings? I download large files from time to time and notice that my download speeds are in excess of 350Mbs or rather 100% DL bandwidth is being allocated, which in turn drag resources from internet explorer when trying to view other pages or downloading other files simulaneously, also I have noticed that sometimes the downloads are cut off before finishing as if my bandwidth just drops out or corrupted as a result of the download speed. I have noticed when using DL managers not native to windows that the same thing would occur until I lowered the max dl speed. i do not want to use a third party dl manager.
I use win 7 default download manager and can set the default diectory but am not able to find where to set the download speed. I want to set it to at least 50% so I have other resources available.
I am familiar with editing the registry and have searched for entries pertaining to download attributes but cant find what I am looking for.
I have searched on the interent with no luck.
I have searched win 7 options with no luck...
Can anyone help? | My System Specs |

I do not want to use a third party DL manager as some files I download cannot be done with use of third party DL mangers.
That is why I need to configure win 7 default dL manager... | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number self build OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit service pack 1 CPU AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Motherboard ASUS Memory 4 GB Graphics Card 1 Gb PCI-e Sound Card Onboard 7.1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer 24" flat lcd PSU 650 watt Case Generic Cooling Standard, CPU, GPU, PSU, Case Hard Drives 1.5 Tb WD Serial |

I'm not aware of a Win 7 download manager, downloading is a function of your browser. Which browser are you using?

There are no throttling options.
