Throttled Pro optimizes your internet connection and provides 'QoS (Quality of Service)' to Mac OS X. The following bandwidth graph shows what it could do to your network connection.

Throttled Pro achieves these results by providing weighted network queues (WF2Q+) that guarantee bandwidth for all your essential network services like web browsing, email, and online gaming. In addition, it provides ACK packet priority which speeds up downloads when you are sending out a lot of data. This combination assures that you get the most out of your internet service.

Features

• Provides instantaneous response for SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, POP, IMAP and VNC connections. Also allows you to prioritize any other internet protocol you want to remain responsive under heavy load.
• Includes optimizations for many online games including Unreal Tournament 2004, World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Ghost Recon, Starcraft, Warcraft II, Warcraft III, and Diablo II.
• Manages BitTorrent, FTP, DCC and other file sharing protocols so your connection always stays lag free.
• Allows you to cap the bandwidth of any service or combination of services. You may have an unlimited number of bandwidth caps if you use the Advanced Configuration panel.
• Provides ACK packet priority to guarantee fast download speeds while your machine is uploading at maximum speed.
