How to control your bandwidth with CloudBerry S3 Explorer

Note: this post applies to CloudBerry Explorer 1.5.1 and later.

As always we are adding features that our customers are requesting. This time we decided to add a bandwidth control. In other words now you can control how much of your available network bandwidth you want to use for Amazon S3 related stuff. This might be helpful when you are actively working on the net, surfing the website, sending and receiving email messages, etc while uploading / downloading files to Amazon S3.

Bandwidth control allows you to limit network utilization by CloudBerry Explorer and make it available to other program, so that you can perform other tasks as efficient as possible.

To control bandwidth simply go to Tools| Options, Connection tab. The default value is Unlimited, but you can change it to whatever speed you want.
