my question is if you can cap the ammount of bandwidth the ddo client is allowed to take up both in the download and upload department.
I am aware of the ingame option of specifying your connection speed but I am interested in specyfying exactly how much it can both download and upload at a time.

since the hotfix to update 5 I have been getting increasing lag during play up to unplayable (2.000+latency!!) which will disappear as soon as I reboot the pc, then reappear as soon as I find myself in ddo playing in large groups etc and not subside, just get worse over time. the ISP monitored my connection and it appeared that excessive ammounts of upload attempts were causing my system to "hang" (on a 16mbs connection with a state of the art-gaming pc). mind you, I had lag free play up to now (other than the usual shroud 4,5/tod lag) and raided normally the day before the hotfix to the update with no lag.

thx in advance!
