Bear share (and the like), Steels Bandwidth

Customers have commented, and yesterday I seam to have the same problem, or
though it could have been a cable issue.

Isa server. Two computers. 512k cable modem. One computer fires up Bearshare
and grabs most of the bandwidth. The second machine runs slower than a
dialup modem on everything it tries's to do.

I dropped the Bearshare machine down to 5 on its bandwidth setting (in Isa
Management), still no change. Only way I could ramp up the other machines
connection was to drop the Bearshare machine off the network.

A couple of other customers have commented on the same thing. Admittedly
with ISDN links, ADSL. Nothing that can hand up and down stream at the same
speeds.

I'm resigned to the fact that it's the sharing software fault, but I thought
limiting the bandwidth would have solved some of the problem.

Comments?

Regards

Tim
