NOTE:
In most current versions the speed limiter if engaged in GUI will turn itself off the next time you launch the product, and you cant turn it on quickly enough you have to remember to manually set it up in scheduler. Basically, for whatever reason its not a sticky user interface setting across launches if nto in a scheduler. I only complain because I liked to set it up right before i close newsbin, but within seconds the scheduler, if one set, will countermand the setting, before app close, and other issues. Its a cool option in general, but in 2013, for safety, I gave up and I decided to use a free utility in windows 7 that can precisely throttle limit throughput to particular apps, in very very accurately ways. It is called :
"'NetBalancer 5.2.1 Free"
the free version when MINIMIZED, not closed, but minimized,is accurate as hell. Horrible accuracy otherwise due to WinOS stealing cpu grants from faceless tasks. It can be launched every boot and minimized, and be perfect for heeding prior settings for apps, I just basically set the newsbin to be throttled to the 72% max IO limit of comca$t to prevent their published algorithm to throttle 'abusers" from kicking in ever.
I can only wonder how more amazing the non-free version of "'NetBalancer 5.2.1 Free" is, based on quality of the free version.
awesome cool newsbin product however, and I used to use its built in throttlers in the past. thanks for awesome newsbin!
