Topic: Controlling bitcoin core bandwidth usage (Read 2937 times)
i was searching for something like that too, i will try it
yeah trickled is pretty cool.
what type of router ? quite a few of the routers with newer images have rate limiting features these days.

I've looked at google results and it seems like maxconnections=12 will have to do for now.
I hope an uplimit=x downlimit=x setting is implemented in future.

Another option is something like trickle, but I've never really gotten it to work well.
I'm using the latest Ubuntu.
One option is iptables -m limit.

What OS? There are software options, and routers can limit bandwidth as well.
You could try netlimiter. I believe you can control the bandwidth of individual applications and monitor them as well with the tool.

OK, so I've learned how to install and use bitcoin-qt, insert bootstrap.dat to get up to date, run a full node and run headless bitcoin core thanks to this forum.
Now that I've got a headless node running I'd like to limit my upload speed, if possible, to keep it below 50Kb/s. My connection is 100Kb/s max and I don't want it interfering with other stuff I'm running, like torrents.
I know I can limit the number of connections (thanks DeathAndTaxes) but this doesn't necessarily mean that my upload isn't being max'ed out.
Is there a command line option to set a maximum up speed?
