Dunno if this is any help to you, I use the following procedure instead of SendNetworkData() for sending at a controlled rate.
Just remember to set MaxRate (in bytes/second) somewhere in your code.
Code: Select all
Procedure.l SendNetworkDataLimited(client.l,buffer.l,size.l)
Shared MaxRate.l
time.l=TimeGetTime_()
sentbytes.l=SendNetworkData(client,buffer,size)
time.l=TimeGetTime_()-time
delaytime=((sentbytes*1000)/MaxRate)-time
If delaytime>0
Delay(delaytime)
EndIf
ProcedureReturn sentbytes

I wanted to control the bandwidth thats outside of the purebasic program.
for instance my brother loves downloading songs and sucking up all the bandwidth. I want to put a program on his computer slow his bandwidth down while im on the internet.
Is this possible
Also wanted to find out if there was a way to block certain websites in purebasic??

Sounds like what you want is a proxy server, this you could create using PB, but a lot of knwledge and work to do it, its not just single network commands etc.
Search for FREE proxy servers on the Internet.
hope that helps

proxy doesn't help, use this program on a gateway: bandwith controller, it's not free though
alternative: there are some progs that run on the client and cap the up / down, but... only if your brother runs them on his machine
to write such a beast in purebasic would be quite a challenge i assume...

IF you guys are sharing a net connection, and are using a good router/switch, you can limit bandwidth/speed of a MAC address (which is on his ethernet card). Just need to see if your router/switch have that option and get your brother's MAC address.
Of if your router do such a thing as assign addys to computers connected to it, you could try it that way...

Which app is he using? Most file-sharing apps have a built-in bandwidth
limiter that you can use... set it to something small instead of the max.

Along similar lines I'd like to know if it's possible to make a bandwidth monitor for all downloads so that I can tell if I get near to my bandwidth limit of 20Gig.

you talk about blocking certain web sites. You could mess with his host-file. That file change reference of the network i think. I mean: If hees trying to reach www.google.com and you have an entry in the host file looking like this: http://www.google.com about:blank
a blank page will come up. change the about:blank with http://www.purebasic.com that page will come up. find your host file in the window system32 or system directory somewhere-
