Bandwidth Management...

I want to write an application that will allow an end user to perform large
downloads on a network but to manually select the megabits per second/hour
for the transfer. How would I go about doing this? I want to support XP/2000
for sure but 98/ME would be nice to bag as well. If it's an either/or
situation then let's target XP/2000.

Thanks,

Rex Winn

Well you can either write the code at the IP Socket layer where you build and
send your packets so you can control how much is going through or you can look
at one of the existing API sets though it doesn't allow you to specify how much
to transfer, it simply tries to use idle network bandwith. Probably base it off
of FTP source code or something like that. You may even possibly find an FTP
product out there that will do it already.
The former is all you... The later is called BITS and you can find out info at

Yes, I'm new to this and may have done that incorrectly.
I was trying not to cross-post so that one reply would
be visible in all areas I posted. Did I do this correctly?
I did get a response and am looking into wether or not
it's the response I was after.

No, you SHOULD cross-post so that the reply shows up in all the groups you
cross-posted to. This way people aren't wasting their answering a question
that may have already been answered in another group.

It is reasonable to cross-post to 2 or 3 groups if you're not sure which one
is the most relevant.

Not to belabor this any further. So did I post correctly
then? I am seeing the reply in all 3 groups when I reply
to any one thread. Seems like this is the behaviour I was
after...

Yes, you posted correctly as far as I can see.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you did it wrong - rather to clarify that you
did it correctly. :)

In the case of the microsoft managed groups, i.e. those monitored by
microsoft employees, they may only reply in the group that they feel is most
relevant to your question.
