Sometimes you might want to block (restrict) your bandwidth.
Install
sudo apt-get install wondershaper
Set the limit
In terminal find out what is the name of the interface connected to your internet by using ifconfig.
# wondershaper [interface] [downlink] [uplink]
sudo wondershaper eth0 1024 256- Download speed 128KB = 1024 Kbits
- Upload speed 32KB = 256 Kbits
NOTE: That will limit ANYTHING in your PC, for example the torrent downloader, firefox, Samba, etc..
Other values
- 1024KB = 8192Kbits
Clear settings
sudo wondershaper clear eth0
