Preamble

Cyando AG, Alte Steinhauserstrasse 1, 6330 Cham, Switzerland (hereinafter referred to as 'uploaded' or 'ul') provides a cloud storage service (hereinafter 'Service') on the Internet under the domain uploaded.net enabling Users to upload their own files. The services provided under uploaded.net furnish Users with virtual storage space enabling them to store files such as videos, images or documents and to download them via a generated specific link.

1. Scope

1.1: ul renders its services exclusively on the basis of these Terms of Service ('TOS').

1.2: ul reserves the right to amend the contents of these TOS without the User's consent with future effect, provided that this is reasonable to the User, taking account of ul's interests. ul shall give notice of corresponding amendments via this Service and furnish a new copy of the TOS under uploaded.net/legal. By using the services after the date on which the TOS were amended, the User is deemed to consent to the application of the amended TOS. Sec. 11.3 shall remain unaffected hereby.

1.3: The terms and conditions contained in these TOS do not create any third party beneficiary rights.

1.4: The User acknowledges that, as between ul and the User, ul is the exclusive owner of any and all rights to the products and services offered by it. This does not apply to files uploaded by Users. The User is not authorised to make use of these rights belonging to ul without ul's prior express written consent (e.g. to copy ul's Service in whole or in part and to use it on other websites) or to remove references to ul's status as right holder.

1.5: Definitions:

User	Any natural person using ul's products and services.
Premium Account	Fee-based access of User with extended functions and options by contrast to those provided under the Free Account; the Premium Account and the Free Account entitle Users to participate in the ul Affiliate Programme.
Free Account	Free access of a User with limited functions and options but with the right to participate in the ul Affiliate Programme.
Affiliate Programme	ul shall structure the ul Affiliate Programme in its free discretion, pursuant to sec. 4 of these TOS.
Affiliates	Owners or operators of advertisements/ website that are linked on a fee-paying basis to the Affiliate Programme and/or Users who recruit new Users.
Advertising	Advertising by our Affiliates may be linked to the Service in any number of variations (sec. 8 of these TOS).

2. General services of ul

2.1: ul offers its Users access to its Service. ul is entitled to permit access to certain services only to registered Users.

2.2: ul shall endeavour to keep the Service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Users shall have no entitlement to uninterrupted availability of the Service. In particular, ul reserves the right to impose temporary restrictions on its contractual services in view of measures it needs to take for operational or security reasons (in particular for preventive maintenance). ul shall endeavour to provide reasonable prior notice of such measures, to the extent that they are planned, and in all other respects it shall restore availability within a timeframe that is reasonable in view of the cause of disruption. To the extent that ul's Service should not be available, this shall not give rise to any claims by Users for warranty or compensatory damages or reimbursement of expenditures.

2.3: In the event of interruptions to availability, it is possible that - in exceptional cases - it may not be possible to record/log a small number of queries. Should this occur, this shall not give rise to any claims by Users against ul for deficiencies of the services (warranty) or compensatory damages or reimbursement of expenses.

2.4: To the extent and for so long as an event of force majeure is present, ul shall have no obligation to perform its services. In particular, force majeure shall be deemed to include strikes, lock-outs, delays to or failure of supplies by suppliers, where such are caused by an event of force majeure, electrical power outages and disruptions to or destruction of data transmission lines lying outside of the scope of ul's responsibility, orders or dispositions by public authorities or courts, attacks by Users or third parties (e.g. by malicious scripts such as computer viruses or DoS attacks) that ul would not have been in a position to prevent, even in the exercise of such care as is reasonable in the circumstances. Circumstances shall not preclude the presence of a force majeure event merely because ul is, as a general matter, obliged to carry out certain security measures.

2.5: ul is entitled to make changes to its Service in terms of content and design. In particular, ul is entitled to make further developments to the Service to maintain or improve its services, and to adapt it to current technical developments.

Where the User knows or becomes aware of facts which, upon an informed assessment, would furnish grounds to suspect or to know that uploaded files contain information and/or files and content which violate these TOS (in particular sec. 3.5.2) or applicable law, the User shall notify ul without delay of the links to such files by means of a Takedown Notice. ul is entitled to block access to such files, to delete such files and to include such files in a list of ul's data filter.

3.5.8: In order to comply with the prerequisites imposed by several payment providers, ul is obliged to provide assurances that certain content is not downloadable from ul's servers. Types of such undesirable content include (but are not limited to) e.g. compelled sexual acts (e.g. by hypnosis, drugs, violence etc.), paedophilia, zoophilia, incest and necrophilia.

4. Affiliate Programme

4.1: Any registered User is authorised to participate in ul's Affiliate Programme. ul is entitled to design the substance of the Affiliate Programme and the remuneration models in its free discretion, and to modify such at any time with prospective effect. sec. 11.3 shall not apply in respect thereof.

Users are included as ul Affiliate Programme participants through the storage of data by means of cookies which are transmitted to the potential User when he or she accesses ul links, and which are stored by means of browser software. This is the way in which Users are identified as Affiliate Programme participants. Thus, Users who have uploaded data and have generated the ul link on that basis shall receive commission credit for first-time orders (see sec. 4.2) with respect to each Premium Account successfully referred by that User provided that the non-Premium User has enabled the use of cookies (as described above) on his computer.

4.3.2: Subsequent commission:
In addition, subsequent commission will be credited (see sec. 4.2) provided that a Premium Account User who was previously referred extends the term of his account. Subsequent commission will be counted as such if it is earned within a maximum of seven days from the date on which the premium term of the first order expires.

4.3.3: Download remuneration:
A credit will be applied per download, which shall be dependent on the country and size of the download.

4.4: Limitation on commission credit:
Commissions will be credited depending on the method of payment used for making payment;

To procure benefits or cause ul to grant benefits under ul's Affiliate Programme by violating applicable law or breaching these TOS, or
to obtain the grant of benefits under the Affiliate Programme by fraud or
to circumvent the terms and conditions of the Affiliate Programme.

11.3.1: ul shall offer an amendment to these TOS amending an existing registration agreement. The subject-matter of such offer to amend the TOS may not be any major elements of the contract between the parties which are material to the contractual equilibrium between the parties (e.g. type and scope of agreed mutual services and consideration as well as term and termination notice periods), and the amendments must be reasonable to the User. In particular, an amendment or modification to these TOS will be deemed necessary in order to eliminate difficulties in performing the registration agreement with the User due to contract gaps which have arisen after the conclusion of the agreement.

11.5.2: Where the parties have not agreed to a fixed contractual term, the User may exercise an ordinary right of termination at any time without notice and ul may exercise a right of ordinary termination upon 14 calendar days' notice to the end of the calendar month. Where a fixed contractual term has been agreed the registration agreement shall terminate upon the expiry of such fixed term.

11.5.3: The parties' right to exercise extraordinary termination, their right of special termination, and ul's right to block the User's access remain unaffected by the foregoing. This applies even if a fixed term has been agreed.

A reasonably fast internet connection is essential to stop the many programs that require bandwidth from slowing your internet speed to a crawl. Doing a few things at once like downloading a torrent, downloading through your web browser and gaming online would probably cause the game to have high pings and be almost unplayable.

A way to get around this problem is setting limits for the programs or traffic you consider less important. That leaves more bandwidth and faster speeds for what you consider more important. A lot of software like downloaders, torrent clients, and game portal software such as Steam have a setting where you can set the maximum download limit so as not to flood the connection and let other applications access more bandwidth.

Some routers can prioritize internet traffic if they have a QoS feature built in, but not all routers can do that. Another way is using traffic shaping software so you can limit or prioritize which programs can have the most bandwidth. The amount of free software around that can shape or limit traffic is sadly very small, here we show you three we have found. All tools and methods were tested in Windows 7 and 10.

1. TMeter

TMeter is quite a powerful application and one of its features is allowing you to control the speed of any Windows process accessing the network. Besides that, it has a large feature list that includes packet capture, URL filtering, built-in user accounts, host monitoring, packet filtering firewall, built-in NAT/DNS/DHCP, and traffic recording to report or database.

TMeter controls the speed of programs by assigning filters. The €99 Euro full version has unlimited filters while the free version allows you to create up to four. With a filter, you can set the overall speed limit of a process, enable a traffic limit to block or change speed, create a schedule, enable packet logging, and enable host header logging. The procedure of adding a speed limit is not quite as straightforward as you might hope and consists of several steps, here’s how to do it.

1. Download TMeter Free Edition and install it. On the first launch, you will be asked to select a network adapter to monitor. Check the box next to the adapter and select a network type, usually Private. Click OK and Apply.

2. Click Configuration > Process Definitions on the left. Two processes (SvcHost and System) are built in, click Add to attach another process to TMeter. Press the three dots on the right and locate an executable file. The Process Definition name is entered but you can change it if you want. Press OK.

3. Click Configuration > Filterset > Add > Filter > Add Rule. Press the Source drop down and choose Local process near the bottom. In the Process Definition drop down, select the definition name created in step 2. Click OK.

4. Developmental psychology theories ppt. Enter a name for the filter at the bottom, then check the box underneath to enable a speed limit. Type a KB/s limit for the process into the box and optionally change the color the process will be displayed as in the traffic graph. Click OK then Apply.

5. Go to Statistic > Traffic Counters and you should see the limit being applied when the selected process is accessing the network. The Recv bps column will give an approximation of the current download speed, Send bps is obviously upload speed.

You can add another three filters to TMeter but must first delete the filters that are included by default. Just highlight ICMP, DNS, and All traffic then delete each filter. The built in process definition SVCHOST could be useful to control Windows Update download speeds. TMeter cannot apply a limit to a single process when several with the same name are running, like with Google Chrome. A workaround is applying a destination IP address in the filter to limit traffic only from that IP.

2. NetBalancer

NetBalancer is a well known and popular bandwidth management application. You can use it a couple of different ways, to either set a download/upload speed limit or set a priority. That means programs with a higher priority are given more of the bandwidth they need while lower priority programs will run at reduced speeds when required. Download solaris 11 iso image for virtualbox.

NetBalancer is shareware costing $49.95 and recent free versions don’t allow any rules or limits, only monitoring. Three free rules and three free limits/priorities were removed starting with version 9.3. You can still download version 9.2.7 from the website which has those free functions, but there’s an expiry date hard-coded into the software. Read below how to get around the issue.

Although there are some advanced functions in NetBalancer, it is incredibly easy to set a limit or priority to a running program. Simply right click on the entry in the window and set the download or upload priority to Low, Medium, High, Limit, Block or Ignore. The first three set a priority relative to other traffic while Block stops the program accessing the internet completely. Limit allows you to manually set the maximum down and up speed in Kilobytes.

There’s a maximum of three rules that can be applied where you can configure specific limits on a schedule. There are some default rules to get you started, including one to block Microsoft telemetry IPs on Windows 10, 8 and 7. A tray traffic monitor which runs on the task bar with visual traffic window is available to run as a separate tool.

How To Get NetBalancer Free To Run

Install and run NetBalancer 9.2.7 and a message box will pop up.

This version of NetBalancer is outdated, do you want to download a new one from our website?

Selecting No does nothing and NetBalancer will not run. We found out the expiry date for NetBalancer 9.2.7 was the 18th of October 2016. The tray or UI components won’t run when the system date is more recent. The NetBalancer service will run but not function correctly.

To get around this, we’ve created a batch script that temporarily sets your system clock to October 2016, starts the service, launches the program, then sets the clock to the current date. It’s not a perfect solution but is currently the only way we know to make use of the free bandwidth limiting functions in NetBalancer.

1. Download NirSoft RunAsDate and extract the Zip to a permanent location. This tool tricks NetBalancer into thinking the date is 2016 on launch and will run every time you open NetBalancer. Make sure to use the correct 32/64 bit version for your system or the process will fail.

2. Download the NetBalancer scripts. There are three scripts in the archive but you only need to use the one that matches the date format of your system clock. Place the script and included shortcuts in the RunAsDate folder.

3. Download NetBalancer 9.2.7 and install. Right click on the batch script and run as administrator. Once NetBalancer opens, optionally accept the predefined priorities, refuse the update, go to Edit > Settings and uncheck start tray icon with Windows and check for new version at startup near the top.

Now use NetBalancer’s free functions as required. It’s best to minimize the program window to the taskbar rather than close it to the tray. If you do that, run the included shortcut to open the window again.

To use the tray network monitor, run the script then the tray shortcut that came with the script. Note that if traffic data in the main window or tray display disappear, restart the service using the batch script. This is part of the date issue for the service and does happen from time to time.

3. cFosSpeed (ASRock XFast LAN)

cFosSpeed is a well known commercial traffic shaping and balancing application. The full version costs $17 but it’s also often licensed to third party motherboard manufacturers like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and ASRock. We’re looking at ASRock XFast LAN because it’s quite a recent cFosSpeed version. The only real difference from cFosSpeed itself is each vendor has its own custom UI skins.

cFosSpeed does not limit traffic to a specific speed like NetBalancer or TMeter can. Instead, it prioritizes internet traffic so important programs can have a higher priority. There are hundreds of built-in presets for different types of programs. For example, VOIP and streaming software is set to a higher priority along with many games. Other software like P2P clients, download managers and game portals (Steam, Origin etc) are set lower.

Most functions are controlled from the tray icon, double click the icon to open a network activity monitor. From the right click menu, you can change the activity monitor look, enable/disable traffic shaping, get ping stats and show a usage graph. Use Options > Settings to open the configuration window where the built in priorities can be edited or new ones added. The Preferences window also has an overall download and upload limit for the connection.

To change priorities on the fly, select Current Connections from the tray menu. A browser window will open with a list of connections, use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the priority. For more precise usage click the Advanced link. This window splits the connections, so for instance, you could change the priority of a single download in your browser. Click on it and adjust using the slider.

Using ASRock XFast LAN On Any Computer

By default, XFast LAN will only install on a computer equipped with an ASRock motherboard. However, there are ways to force it to install on any computer, giving you the full but slightly older cFosSpeed software. If you have an ASRock motherboard, the program can be installed without the steps below.

1. Download ASRock XFast LAN from the ASRock website.

2. Launch the XFast LAN installer to bring up the “Installation cannot commence…” message box. DO NOT close this box.

3. Type %temp% into Start, the Run box or Explorer’s address bar to open the Windows Temp folder. Find the folder $cfsfx.0 and copy it to another location. Click OK to close the Cannot install message box.

4. Open the $cfsfx.0 folder and then open Install.ini in Notepad or a compatible text editor. Search for the string mainboard_manufacturer=ASRock.

5. Delete ASRock from the string so it reads mainboard_manufacturer=, then save the text file.

6. Launch the installer by double clicking Setup.exe in the $cfsfx.0 folder and cFosSpeed will install.

For convenience, you can skip steps 4 and 5 and download the modified Install.ini file. Unzip it and copy to the $cfsfx.0 folder overwriting the old ini file.

Final Note: Traffic Shaper XP is another traffic shaping application we’ve mentioned in the past. Sadly, it’s not been updated for nearly a decade and is incompatible with most of today’s operating systems. It does not work in any version of Windows 10 or any 64-bit operating system but will work in Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8.1 32-bit. There’s also limitations placed on this free version such as a maximum of 5 rules, support for TCP only and shaping up to 3,687 KB/s. However, you can still download Traffic Shaper XP if it satisfies your requirements.

the xfast lan workaround still works, thanks man!

Hi,

In my Network 30+ systems are connected, i want to control downloading from every system and if some one downloaded more than 10mbps means they have to take permissions from the admin. How this is possible and is there any tool to control it.
Please help me out.

Hi Ashok,

An easy way to do it would be through a transparent proxy, where all incoming/outgoing network traffic goes through the proxy server. You’d be able to do bandwidth allocation by setting up rules. There are commercially available solutions for such as Sophos UTM. I am sure you can find other proxy solutions that are equally good/even better.

Cheers!

WELL ITS 2017 and THANK YOU

Interesting programs however on my Windows 8 computer I now have the ability to look at how much bandwidth I use from the new Internet taskbar application, right click what network you’re connected to and select “estimated data usage”. This will tell you what your bandwidth is over however not for specific programs as offered with these programs. Thank you Raymond.

You should turn off your WiFi when you’re not using it if you want to save bandwidth, even when you put your computer to sleep turn off the WiFi during the duration. Bandwidth even on websites with few or no high-level bandwidth-suckers (ads, sounds, auto-playing videos or streaming) will save be taking data like a tap in your bathroom would if left on long term.

netlimiter – is veri good too.
