Is mIRC capable of limiting download bandwidth speeds? Thanks.

it can only be controled if you are runing a dcc fileserver

found in the help file under DCC Fileserver:

Max. Cps
This limits the maximum cps used by all dcc sends being sent by a fileserver.

The /dcc maxcps <N> command can be used to changed the Max Cps value on the fly.

Note: This setting is also applied to /dcc sends initiated in a remote script. You can override this by using /dcc send -lN which applies no limit if N is zero.


this alows you to limit the max speed users can download from your server.

To expand on this...

You can only limit the total speed of sends, not individual sends.

And to accomplish this, you need the setting in file, options, dcc, fserve, maxcps set to whatever you want.

The sending script must use dcc send -lN (with N being any number you want it has no effect other than to make it take notice of the max cps setting)
