I had actually tried Tmeter as it’s really the only free program now and it was very finicky to say the least. It also didn’t play well with my antivirus on startup each time. I’m sure I could have gotten it to work but I didn’t like the idea of needing yet another program running layered between my connection just for the sake of being able to use Insync in a way that didn’t mess up my entire network speeds.
I used NetLimiter years ago and it was the first program that came to mind. It would work well as you can just easily set the limits. However, why pay $20 for a third party program for a the very feature that should already be a part of Insync? We are literally just buying a third party program to then justify buying Insync.
Maybe if I needed to limit several programs, but I don’t. I have unlimited data and high speeds and literally only need to limit Insync because it runs at max and causes connection issues and dropouts for some reason. No other program has ever done that, but sure enough, turn off Insync and everything works fine. It really doesn’t make sense to buy a third party program so I can then buy Insync just to get it to work in a way that doesn’t interfere with everything else.
I appreciate the response, but honestly, it’s been five years and it’s a basic feature. It’s easier to stop using the program causing the issues and use one of the many alternatives that already exist.
