That's one of the biggest complaints about ISA is that it doesn't limit bandwidth until the pipe is full. Unfortunately, I don't know of a solution other than blocking BearShare and the like.

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?
