Networks
Hi to all,
Can anyone teach me how to reduce the connection speed on internet? Im using the Windows XP. Because they are quite large on doing the P2P, like torrent and etc... I need to reduce their internet bandwidth.

Whose bandwidth are you trying to reduce, and do you have the authority to do so?
For a P2P program under your control, look in the settings and adjust the bandwidth and number of concurrent connections.

if you have Administrator rights, and other users do not (that is, they only have limited user accounts).
1. You can uninstall ?Torrent and revoke all rights to install software.
or
2. Open ?Torrent, click on Options > Preferences > Connections. Here, you can limit the bandwidth allowed.
Next, to lock the settings: In Windows Explorer, navigate to Documents and Settings/ user profile/Application Data/uTorrent/
For both Settings.dat, and settings.dat.old, right-click on the file and select Properties. On the Security tab, select the user or group this fellow belongs to, and deny all permissions except for Read, and Read & Execute. Click Apply.
If necessary, click Advanced, remove Ownership or change Permissions and Effective Permissions for the user, so he can no longer take ownership of the file.
If everyone has Administrator rights on their own machine, this won't work until you institute group policies restricting their rights. It isn't wise to run as Administrator during normal use, anyway.
The only other ways to limit bandwidth would be through firewall or network settings, and I can't really help there. I don't run networks, and I don't know your network.
Policies can be set up and propagated through your server, I expect, but again, I don't know about network administration aside from what is available in a small Windows (98, XP) home network.
Good luck. If this doesn't help, perhaps someone else will answer your question.

data transfer not bandwidth that you want to limit.
[ bandwidth is the radio frequency spectrum used, data transfer is how much data the user ransfers. ]
why is the user using a p2p app on company systems? is sharing files a part of their job duties?
if not, un-install it, and blacklist the applicatoin from accessing the internet in the router.
[ note: I myself used 150 GB data transfer in 10 days with a bittorrent application, downloading and seeding 4.3 GB linux dvd iso files. ]
